RODNEY KING CHARGED WITH DRUNKEN DRIVING

Rodney King was charged with misdemeanor drunken driving Tuesday and ordered to spend at least 60 days at a residential alcohol recovery program.

The charges were the first filed as the result of King's four run-ins with the law since his notorious 1991 beating by police after a freeway chase.
