Gary Coleman, Utah man settle personal injury lawsuit over altercation in parking lot

Gary Coleman settles Utah man’s injury lawsuit

SALT LAKE CITY — An attorney says a personal injury lawsuit against actor Gary Coleman and his wife over an incident at a Utah bowling alley has been settled.

Dustin Lance, the attorney for Colt Rushton, says his client’s suit against Coleman and Shannon Price was settled within the last 30 days. Court records show the suit was dismissed Tuesday.

Lance says he can’t discuss the terms of the settlement.

Rushton sued Coleman over a September 2008 incident in which the actor allegedly hit Rushton with his truck in a Payson bowling alley parking lot after an altercation over photos.

In December 2008, Coleman pleaded no contest to a disorderly conduct charge stemming from the incident and was ordered to pay a $100 fine.

Coleman’s attorney, Terry Plant, didn’t immediately return a message seeking comment Thursday.
