In an exclusive interview Clarke told RadarOnline.com that although he had never met the Different Strokes star he posted the $1,725 bail as he felt sorry for the former child actor. “I felt bad for the guy. I grew up watching him and I know he has had a hard life,” Clarke said. ”To see that sad mug shot, for only $1700, I thought it was the least I could do.”
Clarke said that he did not expect Coleman to repay the loan, but shared with RadarOnline.com that Coleman’s father-in-law, who met Clarke at the jail, indicated that Coleman would be in touch to thank him. Something that, as of yet, has still not happened.
