RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) — Rodney King has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Southern California.

The Moreno Valley Police Department said officers pulled King over on Tuesday after seeing him commit several alleged traffic violations. He was booked into jail for investigation of DUI, and bail was set at $2,500.

King was the black motorist whose beating by four white police officers in 1991 exposed racial wounds and led to a devastating riot in Los Angeles.

He has struggled with sobriety publicly and appeared on television's "Celebrity Rehab."

Riverside County Sheriff's spokeswoman Courtney Donowho said no arraignment date has been set.

1. Apparently this jackass won't stop until he's arrested for vehicular manslaughter.

3. He looked like he was getting his shit together on Celebrity Rehab.

I thought Rodney would have a decent chance of sobriety, as opposed to some others who were on that show at various times (Steven Adler, Mike Starr, Jeff Conaway, etc. And we know what happened to two of those guys :( )
