Gary Coleman was shopping for a bullet proof vest when he was accosted by an autograph hound.
They asked him for his autograph and the actor complied, signing his name on a slip of paper. The autograph seeker, idenified as Tracy Fields by the police asked him to write another longer autograph for her son.
That's when Coleman allegedly snapped, accusing the woman of giving him attitude. He gave her back the paper.
Then she made a comment about his acting ability and he punched her in the eye. He continued pummeling the woman until an off duty cop pulled them apart.
His TV siblings haven't fared too well in their post-Strokes lives either. Todd Bridges has been arrested on drug and assault charges and in 1989 was acquitted of attempted murder. Dana Plato's rap sheet includes arrests for forging Valium prescriptions and for robbing a video store with a toy gun. Both have undergone drug rehabilitation.
I got the article from E! online.
