Back in August, music mogul Suge Knight was arrested for beating his girlfriend up in a parking lot. He had a knife in his hand, and drugs on his person. To be more specific:
“A citizen sees the beating in a parking lot; police get there fast; they see him beating her. It’s a good, solid case,” Las Vegas police Lt. Chris Carroll said.
The woman was not stabbed, but she was treated at a hospital for injuries that Carroll said were not life-threatening.
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.”
At least one officer drew a Taser stun gun as they approached Knight, said Officer Jacinto Rivera, a police spokesman. He said he did not know whether the officers drew their handguns.
Knight dropped the folding knife and was taken into custody without incident, Carroll said.
He was booked into the Clark County jail on 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 the drugs Ecstasy and hydrocodone when he was arrested, Carroll said, but it was not clear whether he or the woman had used drugs or alcohol before the arrest.
Like the officer said, seems like a solid case, right? No. Yesterday charges were dismissed without prejudice against Knight due to witness and discovery problems. And I’m sure those “problems” were that the DA was pretty convinced that he’d come home one day to find his family members all shot in the back of their heads.
The district attorney’s office did file paperwork that it may try to recharge Knight. What do you want to bet that never happens?
Wendie,
I doubt the prosecutor is afraid of Suge Knight. Suge is a large bully and “gangster”.
I’m willing to bet that the girlfriend was coerced into saying the drugs were hers and that she smacked Suge first, so he was just “defending himself”.
that’s such bullshit
Happy judicial system, everybody.
one dollar
Yep, my money is on the girlfriend. I want to call her stupid, but I have been in an abusive relationships and realize the ties that bind. However, I will attribute some stupidity to her for getting into the relationship with a known killer in the first place!
yeah, id also bet on the girlfriend. that and our system never does jackshit for “domestic problems”
watch out, theyll come after you, they google search daily!
Of course the hood-bro’s and ho’s aren’t gonna rat him out. He stands invicible as a successful role model for all of them., as he’s a money making industry and gives them a sense of pride.. GAD
I wonder if anyone has told her that the abuse always gets worse. Hopefully she doesn’t end up disabled or dead someday if she stays with him.
YEA!!! i hear my friend jennifer hudson’s sister is looking for some new gangsta dick if suge’s bitch flees the scene. i’ll cross my fingers, dawg.
Whatever everyone else said. Drug mule.
censorthis, what’s your problem with Jennifer Hudson’s sister (this not being the first time you’re making such a remark)? She lost her mother, brother AND son.
damn that pesky constitution… if the girlfriend refused to testify against him, not much the prosecutor can do — right to confront your accusers and all that. can’t think of a reason why they wouldn’t file the non-DV charges, though…
He’s a big, fat, disgusting animal. I hope karma catches up to him liike it did O.J. Dispicable pig….
