Rodney King free on bail after arrest on suspicion of DUI



Rodney G. King Jr. was free on bail Wednesday after being arrested in Moreno Valley on suspicion of driving under the influence.

King, 46, was the subject of the infamous videotaped beating by Los Angeles police in March 1991 that resulted in four officers being tried. Their acquittal led to the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

Since then King has had a number of run-ins with police across Southern California on a variety of allegations, including domestic violence.

3. ... sad, if true. He seemed like he was trying so hard to get clean ...
... even planned to turn his old house into a 'sober living' house after Celebrity Rehab.

6. Suspicion?
He is suspected of DUI? Maybe he was under the influence, but maybe he wasn't and cops are just harrassing him.
I don't trust cops and I am not even Rodney King. How can we trust anything cops say about Rodney King?
