Law enforcement sources tell us King was driving a 1993 Mitsubishi in Moreno Valley, CA around 3:30 PM ... when officers observed him committing "multiple infractions."

King was detained and transported to a nearby Riverside Sheriff's station -- where he was eventually arrested and booked on suspicion of driving under the influence.

When asked about his police experience, king replied "beats me."

In all honesty WTF is he even garnering news, and why is he considered a celebrity?

Maybe he should write a book on being booked.

seemed like an ok guy when on Celebrity Rehab. Thought he had his $hit together; guess not. Drinking and driving pisses me off. I do NOT want to hear him lamenting about his troubles or his woe is me crap on any future shows/news.

Me, either. I, personally, didn't have the sympathy for him during that beating, because I know that people as high on PCP as he was are much harder to contain. He was actually damn lucky he didn't crash into and kill someone driving at the speed he was.

And he's had issues with this crap since. Yes, I'd say he's a "professional bookee".

Most of the time I've completely forgotten about this guy. Thought he was off living well. Then every couple of years we hear about him being arrested. The next we'll hear is that he's either going to prison or is dead. Hope he gets his life together as he could have been a real success story from how we initially came to know him. He could have done all sorts of things instead waste all of his settelment money.
