In current Suge Knight news, officers with the Los Angeles Police Department arrested founder of Death Row Records in Gardena for alleged assault with a deadly weapon. The Los Angeles Times reports that while officers were arresting the former rap impresario, they found that the man had also been driving with a suspended license, so they arrested him on that charge as well.
Suge Knight's vehicle was stopped by officers after a man claimed that the Death Row manager had pointed a gun at him. Yet Suge Knight now has a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney that is denying the allegations. Attorney Marc Brumer went as far as saying that his client is "100 percent" innocent.
"There was never a gun found," Marc Brumer told CNN. "He was very cooperative, answered all the questions police had, and we just feel that he shouldn't have been arrested."
Suge Knight has gotten himself into a great deal of trouble with the law over the past several decades, but he has always been able to get by with help from his Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys.
In August 2008, the music manager was arrested on charges of felony drug possession and aggravated assault. But because Suge Knight agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor battery charge, his felony drug charges and felony coercion charge that stemmed from the 2008 incident were dropped.
Anybody has the right to a criminal defense attorney when they've been charged with a crime, even celebrities. Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys can sometimes establish a plea bargain or help criminals avoid jail with sentencing alternatives.
