The previous time happened during the 2018 mayoral race, and it had to do with him committing official misconduct, the result of him reviewing the personnel file of his opponent in the race, William Roback Jr., from his time as a firefighter, and releasing that information on air during a debate. Kind of makes it mind-blowing that Roback gracefully accepted losing by 28 votes after that kind of shit was pulled during the election. So King ended up pleading guilty to second-degree harassment. It was made to, quote, write a letter of apology to Roback and the Gloversville Firefighters Union for violating a state civil rights law. He was out there violating people's civil rights.
