Former Los Angeles Police Department Sgt. Stacey Koon was arrested in Castaic Tuesday on suspicion of DUI, after crashing into a parked truck.

Koon, who served time in prison for his involvement in the Rodney King beating, was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving when he crashed his SUV into a parked pickup truck, according to Officer Eric Priessman, spokesperson for the California Highway Patrol.

At around 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Koon allegedly crashed his 1999 GMC Yukon into a Ford Super Duty pickup on Heather Lane, west of Greenwood Place, Priessman said.

Koon, 67, the lone occupant inside his vehicle, 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.
