Gary Coleman has been sued by a man who claims the actor punched him and ran into him with his truck in the parking lot of a Utah bowling alley, causing knee, back, and neck injuries. Colt Rushton, 24, of Spanish Fork says he and Coleman argued early September after he began taking pictures of the "Diff'rent Strokes" actor with a cellphone. --
Coleman, 40, was charged with misdemeanor reckless driving and disorderly conduct. In the civil lawsuit, Rushton said Coleman's bodyguard, Paul Rohbock, told Rushton he would have to pay $20 per picture if he continued taking photos. Rushton's attorney, Dustin Lance, said Rushton stopped taking pictures, but when he later saw Coleman in his truck close to the steering wheel, he thought it was funny and took another shot.

The lawsuit contends Rushton was attacked from behind by Rohbock or Coleman's wife, Shannon Price, and his cellphone was taken away. It also contends Coleman punched Rushton in the chest several times. Coleman could not be reached for comment yesterday.
