Rodney has not lived a model life since the beating and subsequent $3.8 million settlement in his favor:Rodney King, whose videotaped beating by Los Angeles police led to deadly riots in 1992, was arrested after he allegedly threatened his daughter and ex-girlfriend, police said.
King, 40, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of making criminal threats. He was being held on $25,000 bail.
He was accused of threatening to kill his 23-year-old daughter, Candace, and her mother, Carmen Simpson, after the two got in a fight with King's current girlfriend, Dawn Jean. All three women live in King's home.
Since the beating, he has had a string of run-ins with the law. He walks with a limp since a 2003 accident in which he lost control of his car, crashed into a house at 100 mph and shattered his pelvis.
Despite numerous felony arrests (including the situation in 1991 when the beating occurred and NO charges were ever filed against King despite driving 100 mph while drunk and stoned, and then subsequently resisting arrest), he's still out there running free. Apparently his "frequent jailer" card has kept him out among us. Surely one of these days he'll finally accrue enough felony points for the 3 strikes law to kick in.
I'm 49 years old and I haven't even been arrested once. What am I doing wrong?
