Suge Knight arrested for assault
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 25 May 2010
I long for the day when I can write a story about Suge Knight headlined something like “Suge Knight strokes kitten” or “Suge Knight does something that doesn’t require the police to be called”. But today is not that day.
The Death Row founder was arrested in LA last week on charges of assault involving a firearm and driving with a suspended licence. Police were told that the hip hop mogul had pointed a gun at another man earlier that evening, and arrested him as he drove through the city, where it was discovered that his drivers licence was invalid. He was released on $60,000 bail on Saturday.
His lawyer Marc Brumer told CNN: “He’s innocent, 100%. Suge Knight is a businessman. He is not a person who would carry a gun or flash a gun at anybody. That’s not Suge Knight. There was never a gun found. He was very cooperative, answered all the questions police had, and we just feel that he shouldn’t have been arrested. There are a lot of people that hate him and are jealous of what he has obtained in his life”.
