This is not shaping up to be a great year for Gary Coleman.

Just weeks after the former child star was hospitalized following a seizure, the 41-year-old former child star was arrested on domestic violence charges Saturday afternoon in Santaquin, UT, E! News has confirmed. 

While a spokesperson at the Santaquin Police Department confirmed the bust, the officer would not give further details regarding the incident.

Following his hospitalization earlier this month, however, the actor had been willing to talk to E! News about the state of his marital union...

The tumultuous pair has made headlines for their domestic scuffles over the years, but Coleman said he and wife Shannon Price were trying to work out their issues.

"My wife and I are getting along great," Coleman said. "When you live with someone and it's a life term, lifelong kind of thing, you learn what makes that person tick. So I think I'm doing okay for a newly-married husband. It's a work in progress. I'm not someone that gives up."

Coleman's latest arrest follows his wife's bust last July for suspicion of domestic violence and disorderly conduct in the same Utah town.

The duo, who married in August 2007, had already started divorce proceedings and made an appearance on Divorce Court in 2008. They had since reconciled…until Saturday's squabble.
