Suge Knight, the former CEO of Death Row Records, was arrested yesterday in a domestic dispute involving his girlfriend in which he supposedly was wielding a knife. The incident happened at approximately 6:40 a.m. in Las Vegas, Nevada. After officers arrived at the scene of a minor traffic accident, they found Knight hitting a woman in a parking lot off a busy thoroughfare.
"A citizen sees the beating in a parking lot, police get there fast, they see him beating her. It's a good solid case," said Las Vegas police Lt. Chris Carroll.
Although the woman was not stabbed, she was treated at a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries. Police did not release the woman's name or age, but said she identified herself as Knight's girlfriend of three years.
"This is a very large man," Carroll said, estimating his weight at more than twice the woman's. "He was on top of her, actually in the act of violently beating her when the officers arrived, with the knife in his hand."He received felony charges of assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a controlled substance, and misdemeanor charges of possession of dangerous drugs without a prescription and domestic violence. Knight had Ecstasy and Hydrocodone when he was arrested.
He posted $19,000 bail and was scheduled to be released yesterday with a promise to appear Sept. 26 in Las Vegas Justice Court.
