Rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight was arrested on Wednesday on assault and drug charges after he was indicted of beating his girlfriend while menacingly waving a knife near the Las Vegas Strip, police said.

The 43-year-old co-founder and CEO of bankrupt Death Row Records posted $19,000 bail and was set to be released late on Wednesday, agreeing to show up on September 26 in Las Vegas Justice Court, a court spokeswoman said, according to The Associated Press.

Officials said Marion “Suge” Knight was taken into custody at approximately 6:40 a.m. after police arrived at the scene of a minor traffic crash to find the hip hop mogul hitting a woman in a parking lot.

“A citizen sees the beating in a parking lot, police get there fast, they see him beating her. It’s a good solid case,” said Las Vegas police Lt. Chris Carroll, quoted by the AP.

The woman was transported to a hospital and was treated for her injuries that Carroll said were not serious. Although police did not disclose the woman’s identity or her age, they said she claimed she was “Suge” Knight’s girlfriend of three years.

Carroll said that Knight was on top of the woman when police arrived and that he was violently beating her, holding a knife in his hand.

The rap mogul was booked into the Clark County jail on felony charges of assault with a deadly weapon and possession of an illegal substance, as well as misdemeanor charges of possession of drugs without a prescription and domestic violence.

Officer Jacinto Rivera, a police spokesman, said that Knight and the woman went out of a Las Vegas strip club not long before the seizure.

“Suge” Knight has a history of legal problems. This month, he was formally accused of sending death threats to an inmate, Waymond “Suave” Anderson, to modify his testimony regarding the 1997 death of The Notorious B.I.G.
