Rialto, Calif. -- Rodney King, whose videotaped beating by Los Angeles police led to the deadly Los Angeles riots of 1992, was arrested for allegedly making threats following a fight between his daughter, his girlfriend and an ex-girlfriend, police said.
King, 40, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of making criminal threats. He was held on $25,000 bail.
Police were called to the King home shortly after 4:15 p.m. Authorities said King's live-in girlfriend, Dawn Jean, 29, got into a fight with daughter Candace King, 23, who also lives in the home.
The daughter allegedly assaulted Jean, leading Carmen Simpson, Candace King's mother, who also lives at the home, to get involved in the fight, police said.
King allegedly threatened to kill his daughter and Simpson. Authorities said the daughter, who called police, said King was armed with a handgun, but it turned out to be a toy.

What does that MEAN?
Don't know for sure, but it might mean I have a fever and the only cure is more cowbell.
It means you never question Bruce Dickinson.
Anywhere besides a blue state, someone would have popped a cap on him by now!
How does a guy in a tight dress and platforms outrun a guy in a car?
I had heard that he was dead. I can't say I'm relieved at learning otherwise; more like profound disappointment.
If Bush Sr. really wanted to win the election of '92, which I have always doubted, he should have had this man shot after the riots started, as probably was legal under the Insurrection Act. Instead, he ordered the DOJ to try the acquitted cops on a federal "Civil Rights" rap. THAT jury, intimidated by the riots and fear of another, voted to convict. Even the ACLU thought that was Double Jeopardy, but then more politically correct heads in that very liberal body prevailed, and they withdrew their complaint.
The very police officer who prevented Rodney King, PCP crazed thug with a very long and sordid record of violence, from being shot by a female CHP Officer was sentenced to 7 years!
Order today is kept in the rougher parts of LA by Korean shopkeepers, who will shoot to kill (and often do) rather than risk looting or property destruction. The more illiterate Democrats in LA have enjoyed their last riot. Now, they know the consequences. A pity they aren't the official consequences.
Let's riot! Let's steal some audio equipment and burn down a store!
Rodney King and the people who rioted on his behalf can go to Hell.
Geez, this is the eighth time I can remember. DUI's, speeding and what you listed. From CA to PA, NJ and some other places.
I mean, three women are fighting, I get hit over the head, and I get arrested? The cops are out to get me.
Did he say white racism is the biggest problem we fake in this country?
I gotta have more cowbell.
If you don't know, you obviously need more cowbell.
So are most of the posters.
; )
Trouble follows this guy everywhere he goes.
You've got to be kidding me!
