DUI Arrest for Rodney King for Driving Under the Influence of Marijuana

 DUI arrest In Moreno Valley for Rodney King who was arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence of marijuana in his 1994 Mitsubishi.

King told CNN that he uses medical marijuana to cope with migraine headaches as well as lower back pain but did note that he should not have been driving while under the influence of the substance. The Moreno Valley police report explained that King committed “several traffic violations” however; speeding was not one of them. When King was signaled to pull over his vehicle, police asked him to participate in a field sobriety test which he agreed to complete. According to King, he was driving to his friend’s home that recently was purchased in Moreno Valley.

This incident is not his only run in with law. https://askcompetentlawyer.com/drug-crimes/ In 1996, King served a 90 day jail sentence for a hit and run he committed with his wife at the time. In 2004, he was arrested for driving while impaired. Last March, King was cited for not driving with a license in Arcadia California.

In the beginning of this year a CNN documentary aired with Rodney King telling CNN’s Don Lemon about his lifelong struggle with alcohol. King said “I'll always have an issue when it comes to alcohol. My dad was an alcoholic, the addiction part is in my blood…what I've learned to do is to arrest my -- addiction, arrest it myself, so I don't get arrested." When the Riverside District Attorney’s Office receives King’s case, it will be up to them whether or not they want to take legal action against King.
