West Pointer who sued diva LaBelle leaves academy
HOUSTON
A West Point spokeswoman says Richard King left the academy
Monday. Lt. Col. Sherri Reed cited privacy laws that prevent her
from saying if his exit was related to the lawsuit or the
altercation.
The academy acknowledges it investigated the March 11 incident.
King says he was in his hometown airport standing near LaBelle's
luggage when three of her bodyguards attacked him. In court papers,
he says LaBelle thought he was standing too close to her bags.
Video shows King on the phone and a shoving match ensuing, with
three people pushing and punching King. His lawyer says he suffered
a concussion.
