Gary Coleman Pleads Guilty to Misdemeanor Charges Related to Domestic Dispute
Published April 11, 2016
Former child television star Gary Coleman has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor criminal mischief charge related to a domestic violence incident last April in Utah.
In a deal with the prosecutor, Coleman entered the plea at a hearing Monday, his 42nd birthday, in Santaquin, 65 miles south of Salt Lake City.
Court clerk Jane Swan says the original charge of domestic violence assault was dropped.
THEN/NOW: Catch up with the cast of "'Diff'rent Strokes."
Judge Sharla Williams sentenced Coleman to 31 1/2 days in jail. The "Diff'rent Strokes" star will serve the time only if he fails to complete a domestic violence course and pay a $595 fine.
Coleman was arrested Jan. 24 at his Santaquin home on a warrant for failing to appear in court. He spent a night in jail before a fan paid his $1,725 bail.
