Suge Knight Bail Revoked; Considered a Flight Risk
LOS
ANGELES (AP) -- Former rap music mogul Marion “Suge” Knight, founder of
one of the genre’s leading labels, had his $2 million bail revoked in
Los Angeles after his arrest in running down and killing a man.
Los
Angeles County sheriff’s spokeswoman Nicole Nishida says detectives
asked a bail commissioner Monday to keep the Death Row Records founder
behind bars because he is a possible flight risk.
Authorities also cited
Knight’s history of violent crimes and the possibility he would
intimidate witnesses.
Police
allege Knight, who started the music label that helped solidify West
Coast rap, killed a man and injured another by hitting them with his
pickup truck Thursday.
Attorney James Blatt says Knight accidentally ran over the men as he tried to escape a vicious attack.
Knight is scheduled to appear in court in Compton Today.
