Have you guys heard this? This is crazy.
So you know how Gary Coleman went to jail last week for a misdemeanour failure to appear warrant? OK, so he was basically rotting away in jail for a week while his mugshot was making rounds on the web. This mugshot has been everywhere and it’s quite scary and sad. So much so that one Utah business man decided he couldn’t bare the thought of the Diff’rent Strokes actor sitting in a cell anymore and he fronted his bail. Yup, Gary Coleman’s bail was paid by a fan. He even offered the actor a ride home from jail.
Jarrod Clarke of Draper, Utah told Gossip Cop why he decided to throw down the funds to release Gary:
“If you see his mugshot, I mean, what a sad face… To see that he was sitting in there – and he’d been there for 27 hours – and bail was only $1,700, I thought somebody probably ought to do something.”
Gary’s wife immediately called Jarrod to thank him for his generosity and Gary’s back at home awaiting his next court date.
There are a whole list of reasons why this story is beyond sad (why the hell doesn’t Gary Coleman have a measly 17 hundred bucks? Why wouldn’t his wife bail him out?), but let’s just hope that it turns out OK for Jarrod. The guy put himself on the line for someone he grew up loving on TV and if Gary doesn’t show up to his court date, that would be a huge slap in the face.
It is a sad mugshot and nice of that guy to do this. Poor Gary Coleman.
Don’t take this in a mean way, but it is “couldn’t bear etc etc”
EB- give this girl from writing lessons:)
“EB- give this girl from writing lessons:)”
Anyone else notice that the grammar/spelling police usually make mistakes like the ones above?
oops, some writing lessons
A “measly 17 hundred bucks”? That’s a lot of money to a lot of people, myself included. Okay, a former TV superstar like Gary Coleman should have it, but we all know what happened there. The real question is why Gary, his wife, or his family didn’t go to a bail bondsman to front them the bulk of the money. I’m already getting a feeling that Gary is going to skip his court date.
That is not a sad picture. That is a bloody TERRIFYING picture. There is a distinct lack of something important, like… oh, say… SANITY.
absolutely. this photo chills me to the core.
Yoda called and wants his ______ back. Whatever.
Oh my god yes! I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks he looks like Yoda here. That was my first thought when I looked at the photo!
I kinda thought he looked like a black version of that little bastard leprechuan from Leprechuan movies.
“…couldn’t b-e-a-r the thought,” even Spellcheck won’t catch that one.
I have bare thoughts and not the Yogi and Boo Boo kind.
Molls misspells so many words now, I’m beginning to think even the correct words are incorrect.
Are we sure David Hasselhoff isn’t writing for Beet now?
Crazy? Really?
Crazier than the 5 year old who jumped out a window and then into the pool unsupervised because his lazy ass mom couldn’t be bothered to drag him away from Nick Jr. long enough to do some errands?
