Richard King was already on
suspended separation for previous conduct when the March 11 scrape happened at
an airport in his hometown of Houston. In a lawsuit against the Grammy
Award-winning LaBelle, he said three of her bodyguards attacked him for no
reason.
The singer has countersued, saying King was drunk and hurling racial
slurs. Norma Harris, the 63-year-old hairdresser for LaBelle, and 43-year-old
bodyguard Efrem Holmes, have been charged with assault in connection with the
tussle. West Point says the 23-year-old King will start classes Monday.
