A former West Point cadet says Houston police officers were star struck and biased in connection with an alleged assault at Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.
Richard King claims he was waiting for his family to pick him up outside Terminal C in March when three of Patti LaBelle’s bodyguards attacked him.
The bodyguards told officers with the Houston Police Department that King attacked them. They said King tried to get into their limo and threw the first punch.
However, King said he was just waiting for his ride.
The surveillance video shows King talking on the phone before an altercation takes place.
You can’t see what draws them over, but two men begin to push King, eventually appearing to hit him and push him into a concrete pillar. King tries to get up and can’t, at least for a while, and even then he is bleeding badly.
Patti LaBelle and her management team have not commented on in the incident.
