Found This One A Little Ironic:
RIALTO, Calif. - Rodney King, whose videotaped beating
led to the deadly 1992 riots in Los Angeles, was
hospitalized with a broken pelvis after he lost
control of his SUV while weaving through traffic at
100 mph and crashed into a house, police said.
King, 39, was spotted Sunday by a police officer who
said King was speeding and weaving through traffic in
his 2003 Ford Expedition when he slammed into a
utility pole, a chain-link fence and then the home,
police said. No one in the home was injured.
King was in fair condition Monday afternoon, hospital
spokesman Jorge Valencia said. His condition was not
available Tuesday as hospital officials did not answer
phone calls.
Police said they suspect that King was intoxicated,
and a blood sample was drawn to determine his
blood-alcohol level. Test results have not yet been
released.
King was not arrested, but a report detailing the
crash circumstances will be submitted to prosecutors,
police Lt. Kathy Thompson said.
King, who is black, was chased by police through the
San Fernando Valley in 1991 and was captured on
videotape being beaten by four white officers.
After their acquittal, riots broke out and lasted for
four days, leaving 55 dead and more than 2,000
injured. The mayhem caused $1 billion in property
damage.
King later received a $3.8 million settlement from the
city of Los Angeles in 1994.
He was convicted of spouse abuse in 1999 in San
Bernardino County and was sentenced to 90 days in jail
and four years probation.
King pleaded no contest to three counts of being under
the influence of PCP and a count of indecent exposure
in October 2001. A judge gave King a year in a drug
treatment center even though a prosecutor argued King
should spend a year in county jail.
