Judge Kenneth King was ordered to undertake social-emotional training by the chief judge of Detroit’s 36th District Court after the incident.

He has now returned to court, albeit in the traffic division.

“We appreciate his efforts in preparing for this role, and wish him success as he transitions into this new responsibility,” Judge William McConico said in a written statement.

Todd Perkins, lawyer for the judge, said that he is willing to work anywhere at the court.

“He truly understands and wholeheartedly embraces the concept of teamwork,” Perkins said.
