Hip Hop Mogul Marion 'Suge' Knight Arrested

On Wednesday, August 27, 2008 at 6:39 a.m. the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department received a domestic violence call at 3282 Spring Mountain Road. Upon officers arriving, they observed an African American male holding a knife and standing over an African American female.

Officers learned the male was Marion Hugh Knight a.k.a. Suge Knight. After interviewing the female, officers learned that she is Knight's girlfriend of three years, and that they were involved in an argument. Allegedly, Knight punched the female victim in the head as he was driving. In an effort to escape, the victim purposely grabbed the steering wheel and caused the vehicle to hit the curb. When the vehicle struck the curb it came to a stop in front of the above location. The victim fled from the vehicle and Knight allegedly gave chase on foot and eventually caught the victim. It is at this time that the officers arrived. Knight was taken into custody without incident and the female victim was taken to Spring Valley Hospital.

Knight was charged with Assault with a Deadly Weapon and Battery Domestic Violence and transported to the Clark County Detention Center.

At the Clark County Detention Center during an inventory search of Knight, he was found to be in possession of Ecstasy and Hydrocodone. Knight was additionally charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance and Possession of Dangerous Drugs without a Prescription.
