Entering the litigious phase
The trajectory of Gary Coleman's recent fracas at a Payson bowling alley is proceeding right on schedule.
Cole Rushton, 24, the Spanish Fork resident who accuses the 40-year-old former child star of punching him and running into him with a truck has filed a lawsuit, according to this article by the Tribune's Kristin Owens.
Here's the life cycle of a celebrity misdemeanor: First the incident, then the filing of charges, then the big splash in the tabloids, then the snarky reaction in the blogosphere, then the lawsuit by the supposedly injured party, then the second splash in the tabloids, then the second snarky reaction from the blogs. All that's left is the handling of the criminal case (either a trial or a dismissal of charges) and the out-of-court settlement on the lawsuit.
