Share

(Newser) – Former child actor Gary Coleman pleaded no contest to charges related to a tussle with a fan, and was ordered to pay a $100 fine, the AP reports. The pint-sized star’s troubles began when a fan snapped pictures of him and his wife in a Utah bowling alley in September. The ensuing scuffle ended with Coleman, 40, running into the fan with his truck in the parking lot.
