Can They All Just Get Along?

Guess not! Then again, it seems highly unlikely given this scenario. Rodney King is living with his girlfriend, his daughter and his daughter's mother (baby mama). I'd imagine there would be quite a bit of conflict in that house!

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.

The toy gun bit is giving me a chuckle too. I supposed he had the foresight not to get caught with a real firearm.
