Rodney King — No Jail After 2nd DUI Arrest

Rodney King No Jail After 2nd DUI Arrest

0221_rodney_king_mug_ex
Rodney King just got a slap on the wrist for his DUI arrest last summer — striking a plea deal in which he won’t have to serve a single second behind bars … despite the fact he has a prior DUI conviction on his record.

Rodney pled guilty today to reckless driving for the July 12, 2011 incident in Riverside County, CA … and in exchange, prosecutors agreed to drop the DUI charge.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Rodney’s blood alcohol level was only .06 at the time of his arrest — below the legal limit — but marijuana was also found in his system.

King was sentenced to 20 days house arrest and 3 years summary probation. He is also required to attend a 9-month alcohol education program, and pay a $ 500 fine plus court costs.

King dodged a major bullet by avoiding the DUI conviction … because he was convicted for DUI in California back in 2004 … and in CA, 2 DUI convictions within 10 years means MANDATORY jail time.
