Gary has that number on his speed dial

Gary Coleman allegedly ran over a dude on Saturday night in Payson, Utah. While leaving a bowling alley, 24-year-old Diff'rent Strokes fan Colt Rushton asked Coleman to stop for a cell phone pic. According to Coleman's bodyguard (he can afford a bodyguard!), Rushton wouldn't take no for an answer and became "very aggressive." As Coleman was backing out of his parking spot, Rushton ran behind his car and was accidentally hit. Or maybe it didn't happen like that. From ABC4 in Utah:

Rushton tells ABC4 a different account of what happened. He says Coleman's wife took his cell phone, that Coleman threw several punches at him before getting behind the wheel of his truck. Rushton says he was trying to get his cell phone from Coleman when he put his truck in gear and struck Rushton knocking him to the ground.

Police say no one has been arrested or cited and say there's some indication alcohol was a factor. [Coleman's bodyguard] says it shows just how far some people will go to harass a celebrity. "They're just like you and me. They want to be able to go out and do things and enjoy life." Rushton claims his cell phone was taken by the Colemans and given back to him by investigators with all his stored information deleted. The Payson Police say it a case still under investigation.

The most surprising thing about this story? That Gary Coleman bowls. The poor little guy probably has to use a bocce ball. Seriously though, can you really blame Gary for running someone over? Without his booster chair, he couldn't see over the steering wheel. The one bit of silver lining in this whole ordeal for this asshole Rushton dude: Hollywood paparazzi agencies are in a bidding war for his services.
