A Los Angeles criminal street gang member who starred in a rap music video about “flocking” — a slang term for breaking into a home to burglarize it — was ordered last week to stand trial on four counts of residential burglary and one count of street terrorism in Ventura County, authorities said.

Darren King, 28, was picked up by Los Angeles police earlier this year. He went missing in 2016 after he had been arrested for the Simi Valley burglaries that occurred on Aug. 14, 2015, then posted bail and failed to appear in court, according to Simi Valley police. A $1 million warrant had been issued for his arrest.

King, who pleaded not guilty to the charges during a recent arraignment, had been charged by Ventura County prosecutors with four counts of residential burglary with the allegation that each was committed for the benefit of, in association with, or in furtherance of the Rollin ’30s Harlem Crips gang, said J.P. LeCedre, deputy district attorney in the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office Gang Unit.

King was also charged with street terrorism or participating in a criminal street gang.

Knock-knock burglaries have been “a serious public safety issue for Simi Valley,” LeCedre said. “We get a lot of very concerned people about it so we take these obviously pretty seriously, especially when they’re gang related.”

King’s defense attorney, Lauren Noriega, declined Thursday to comment on the case.

The rap music video entitled “Floccin,” which is posted on YouTube, glorifies so-called knock-knock burglaries, in which one person will usually knock on the door or call a residence to see if someone is home before one or more accomplices break in from the side or rear to ransack the home. Meanwhile, one or two others working with them will be in constant communication via phone so they can tip their colleagues off if someone returns home.

The video shows a man, identified by Simi Valley police as King, knocking on a door and then breaking in through a window with the use of a screw driver.

“Ding dong, nobody home, take the cash and the grams,” the lyrics say.

King had seven co-defendants in the knock-knock burglary case in which they were together accused of stealing more than $200,000 in mostly cash, jewelry and firearms from Simi Valley homes between August and October of 2015. Most defendants have pleaded guilty in the case, which was investigated by Simi Valley police and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

One of the burglaries was a “hot prowl,” where a resident was at home at the time, making that count a violent felony, LeCedre said.

“Someone saw them breaking in, ran away, got a rough description (but) there are still no percipient witnesses who can identify these people by face,” LeCedre said.

But much of the evidence in their case revolves around cellphone data records, he said.

For example, one of King’s co-defendants left his cellphone behind while fleeing from authorities and Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials were able to subpoena the call records, LeCedre said.

“They can pull up when that call took place, to whom, how long the call was, and which cellphone towers were being used,” he said. “These guys were only ever in Simi Valley the exact second these burglaries took place.”

King, who uses the name “Cowboy” for the 2011 video “Floccin,” was on parole for a 2008 residential burglary in the Los Angeles area when he was taken into custody in August of 2016, police and prosecutors said.

Because King has a prior count, he could face up to 35 years in prison, LeCedre said.

A trial date had yet to be set in the case, according to attorneys involved in the case.
