LOS ANGELES  —  Marion “Suge” Knight was arrested on an outstanding warrant this week after being pulled over for a traffic violation in Los Angeles.
Police Officer Sara Faden says that Knight was wanted on a misdemeanor warrant and was taken into custody.
USA Today reported that he was booked and released several hours later on $20,000 bail.[1]
A warrant was issued for Knight’s arrest in February after he skipped a court appearance for driving without a license.
According to Wikipedia:
Marion Hugh Knight Jr., better known as Suge Knight, (/ˈʃʊɡ/; born April 19, 1965) is the founder and CEO of Black Kapital Records and co-founder and former CEO of Death Row Records. Death Row Records rose to dominate the rap charts after Dr. Dre’s breakthrough album The Chronic in 1992. After several years of chart successes for artists including Tupac Shakur, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Outlawz and Tha Dogg Pound, Death Row Records stagnated after Knight’s incarceration on parole violation charges in September 1996.
