RIALTO, Calif. 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.
The daughter, who called police, said King was armed with a handgun, but it turned out to be a toy, according to authorities.
