Attorney denies Suge Knight threatened man in LA
LOS ANGELES — An attorney for Marion “Suge” Knight is denying allegations that the former rap mogul pulled a gun on a man in South Los Angeles.
Knight was arrested in suburban Gardena on Thursday. Police say his Cadillac Escalade was stopped after a man claimed Knight pointed a gun at him.
Knight was booked for assault with a deadly weapon and on a warrant claiming he drove with a suspended license. He was released on $65,000 bail the same day.
Knight’s attorney, Marc Brumer, denied Friday that a confrontation ever happened. He says Knight pulled into a gas station and was surrounded by a crowd of admirers but drove off quickly without leaving the vehicle. He says Knight didn’t have a gun.
No charges have been filed.
