People.com has reported that Diff’rent Strokes actor Gary Coleman was arrested and is being held in Santaquin, Utah. He was arrested on one misdemeanor count of domestic assault; the victim has yet to be identified.
Last year, Coleman’s wife Shannon Price was arrested after a domestic violence incident involving the actor.
**UPDATE** People.com has just released that Coleman was not arrested for domestic assault as previously reported. A police statement from the Santaquin City, Utah police department reads, “During the course of the investigation, a misdemeanor warrant for failure to appear was located for Gary Coleman,” the statement reads. “Mr. Coleman was taken into custody and booked at the Utah County Jail without incident.” Police did respond to a call to the actors home on Sunday for an unnamed “civil disturbance,” but the arrest had nothing to do with the nature of that call. The actor has since posted bail and has been released.
