Gary Coleman's in a little trouble. Again.

The diminutive former "Diff'rent Strokes" star was picked up in his Utah hometown yesterday on a domestic-violence warrant, sources said.

Cops in Santaquin, outside Salt Lake City, would not comment on the arrest, but Utah County jail records indicate that Coleman, 41, was being held in lieu of $1,725 bail for the 2009 warrant.

Coleman, who was arrested in 2008 for allegedly hitting a man with his pickup truck at a Utah bowling alley, did not return calls for comment.

The arrest is the latest blow for 1970s child star.

Coleman's relationship with his wife, actress Shannon Price, has been rocky over the years, although the alleged victim in the current case is not known.

In July, Price, who met Coleman on the set of the 2006 comedy "Church Ball," was nabbed for locking him out during a fight and trashing the house.

In July 2007, Coleman allegedly unleashed a verbal tirade at Price in a parking lot, leading to a disorderly-conduct charge.

The pair appeared on the TV show "Divorce Court" the next year, but later reconciled.

He probably has a ton of trust issues that he's never fully resolved.

Remember, when he was barely a teenager, he was a multi-millionaire, and allegedly, his parents took full control of his fortune and left him with almost nothing. Plus he may have never gotten over the fact that at one time he was mega-rich and everybody wanted him on their show. Now there's no place at the table for him anywhere, and he's never come to grips with that.

Lastly, dude ain't even close to five feet tall, so he may have esteem issues about never really being taken seriously as a grown man. He really needs a spiritual center in everything he does to calm his angry heart.
