Former Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Stacey Koon pleaded not guilty to DUI charges stemming from his arrest about three months ago in the Castaic area, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office confirmed Tuesday.

Koon, 67, is scheduled to return to court for a pretrial hearing on Oct. 3 at the Santa Clarita Courthouse.

The former sergeant is being charged with one misdemeanor count each of driving under the influence of an alcoholic beverage and driving with a .08 percent blood alcohol content, according to Ricardo Santiago of the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

On May 1, 2018, Koon was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving when he crashed his 1999 GMC Yukon into a Ford Super Duty pickup on Heather Lane in Castaic, according to Officer Eric Priessman of the California Highway Patrol.

Koon was reportedly the only person in the vehicle and suffered no visible injuries, nor claimed any injuries from the crash, according to Priessman.

“He was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving and taken in custody,” said Priessman. “Mr. Koon remained polite and cooperative throughout the incident.”

Koon submitted to a blood test, which found that he was over the legal blood-alcohol content limit by a “decent amount,” according to officials.

He was booked at the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station, and has since been released.

Koon served time in prison for his involvement in the 1991 Rodney King beating after being charged with using excessive force.

Koon and several other officers were indicted that same year on federal civil rights charges, and he was convicted and sentenced to two and a half years in prison.
