The 34-year-old former Tigers player on Monday avoided a conviction and was ordered to pay a $5000 donation to charity by Melbourne Magistrates Court over one charge of threatening to inflict serious injury and one of possessing testosterone.
King was also placed on a 12-month good behaviour bond.
Outside court, King told reporters: "I'm just happy that it's all over. And now I can just move on from it."
King pleaded guilty to the two charges as part of deal after prosecutors withdrew extortion and threat to kill charges involving Tony Mokdissi.
The former forward threatened to break Mr Mokdissi's legs in mid 2017 if he did not settle a debt with King's former Richmond teammate Tyrone Vickery, who owns a restaurant in Hawthorn East.
King retired from professional football in July 2014 and runs a tattoo parlour in South Melbourne with former bikie Toby Mitchell.
