Marion “Suge” Knight was arrested this morning and incarcerated for assault and drug charges, stemming from an early morning altercation with his girlfriend.
According to the Associated Press, Knight, 43, was arrested on a street off of the Las Vegas Strip, after police responded to a domestic dispute call.
Knight and the woman argued in a car while the mogul was driving, before he allegedly punched her in the head.
"The victim purposely grabbed the steering wheel and caused the vehicle to hit the curb," police revealed adding that the woman tried to run away, but Knight gave chase and caught up with her.
When police officers arrived on the scene, they allegedly found Knight standing over his girlfriend with a knife in his hand.
“He did not stab her,” added department spokesman Jacinto Rivera. A search of Knight also turned up the drugs ecstasy and hydrocodone.
Knight has been charged with felony charges of assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a controlled substance, misdemeanor charges of dangerous drugs without a prescription and domestic violence.
According to reports, Knight is still being held in jail on the domestic violence charge.
