At first I thought that King was dumber than he appeared for staying in the LA area after "the incident." On the other hand if he carried on the way he has since then in any other city he probably would be in jail or buried by now. Maybe he is smarter than he appears.
Oh, he's been stopped and arrested in other places since then, including one in the Pittsburgh area a few years back. King is just a small time lawbreaker who never has learned his lesson.
