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.

While Coleman stays silent on those who helped him, others are looking to cash in on the actor’s notoriety.
The Utah Grizzlies, who play in the East Coast Hockey League, have invited Coleman to drop the puck prior to Monday’s game against Las Vegas.
The franchise has contacted Coleman’s agent and attorney, but as yet, they have not responded.
“Gary has struggled a bit since his move to Utah, but we'd like to take this opportunity to introduce him to Grizzlies hockey,” said the team’s Adrian Denny.
“We'd like to show him a great night of hockey entertainment and take that opportunity to wish him all the best.”

While Clarke has not heard from Coleman since he bailed him out, his father-in-law, who met Clarke at the jail, indicated the former child actor would be in touch.
Clarke, whose business interests include owning Money Train Title Loans, had wanted to keep his indentify secret and even went to the extraordinary length of initially telling RadarOnline.com he was Coleman’s private security, in a bid to keep his identity private.

“We weren’t doing it for any publicity,” said Clarke, of his motivation.
“It would have been nice to give him a ride home and talk to him about him being a spokesperson for our company, but we posted bail, no strings attached.”
And when asked if he would now seek the bail back from Coleman, Clarke said: “No, no, no. He is the last guy I would ever take money from, although I would take it from MC Hammer.”
Clarke can recover his $1,725 if Coleman appears in court for his outstanding cases.
