Former child star Gary Coleman has denied claims in court that he ran over a man taking photos of him on his phone camera.
A lawyer for the ex-Diff'rent Strokes actor says he has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges in a Utah court.
Coleman has been charged with disorderly conduct and reckless driving relating to an alleged confrontation at a bowling alley last month.
According to court documents, Coleman was bowling with his wife and bodyguard at the lanes in Payson, about 60 miles south of Salt Lake City, when Colt Rushton began taking photos with his mobile phone.
Mr Rushton also captured the actor's truck in the car park outside the alley.
His lawyer, Dustin Lance, said Coleman's wife took Mr Rushton's mobile phone.
A scuffle then ensued, he claimed, before Coleman ran into Mr Rushton with his truck as he was reversing from the car park.
Coleman's lawyer, Randy Kester, said the 40-year-old actor didn't do anything wrong.
Mr Kerster said his client was just trying to leave the car park undisturbed.
