Rodney King attacked in 1991. The attack that led to city-wide riots

Rodney King has been charged with driving under the influence stemming from an arrest in California last month.

King was infamously beaten by four white officers in 1991.

He was yesterday charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and marijuana and with having blood-alcohol levels higher than the legal limit when he was pulled over in Riverside County's Moreno Valley.

If guilty King faces up to a year in jail due to a prior drink-drive conviction.
