[Demovictory9]

recent DUI... looks like he' would be finishing up probation in 2021.


Former LAPD Sgt. Stacey Koon — who served time in prison in connection with the videotaped beating of black motorist Rodney King — pleaded no contest Wednesday to a misdemeanor DUI count stemming from his May 1 arrest in the Castaic area.

Koon, 67, was immediately sentenced to three years probation, a three-month DUI class and a $390 fine plus penalty assessments. He was also ordered to install an ignition interlock device on his vehicle following his plea to a count of driving with a 0.08 percent blood alcohol content, according to Ricardo Santiago of the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

A second misdemeanor charge — driving under the influence of an alcoholic beverage — was dismissed.


TMZ.com reported that Koon crashed his 1999 GMC Yukon into a parked 2004 Ford Super Duty pickup truck on Heather Lane, west of Greenwood Place, on May 1. He was subsequently arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, then booked at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Santa Clarita Valley station and released.

Stacey Cornell Koon (born November 23, 1950) is a former sergeant with the Los Angeles Police Department and one of the four police officers who were responsible in the 1991 Rodney King incident.

After his prison release


Koon eventually moved to Castaic, north of Los Angeles.[3] In 2012, he began working as a chauffeur in Los Angeles for the limousine company Music Express where his patrons have included former U.S. vice president Al Gore, and political commentator D. L. Hughley as well as other prominent Hollywood writers.[12][13]

Both Koon and fellow LAPD officer Laurence Powell have been used as symbols of racism in hip hop and related music. He is referenced by rap metal band Rage Against the Machine in their song "Vietnow",[14] and is mentioned in Ice Cube's songs "Really Doe" and "We Had to Tear This Motherfucka Up." Koon was also namechecked in The Simpsons episode "Sideshow Bob Roberts" by conservative commentator Birch Barlow as an example of someone "railroaded by our liberal justice system" alongside Sideshow Bob, Oliver North, and Joe Camel. He was parodied twice in 1993 by Jim Carrey on the American sketch comedy television series In Living Color.

In 2007, Time magazine profiled Koon as it marked the 15th anniversary of the riots.[3] They reported that, since his release, he had been living on the royalties from his book.

In 2018, Koon was arrested for driving under the influence in Santa Clarita, California.[15] Koon pleaded guilty and received a sentence of three years' probation and was required to install an alcohol interlock on his vehicle.[16]
