Complaint filed against Knight

The Clark County, Nevada, district attorney’s office is seeking criminal charges against Marion “Suge” Knight, stemming from an incident in August in which Las Vegas police say they found the hip-hop mogul beating his girlfriend just off a busy thoroughfare.

A criminal complaint being processed Tuesday in Las Vegas Justice Court charges Knight with two counts of felony drug possession and one count of misdemeanor battery.

The complaint accuses Knight of striking Melissa Isaac. Police say they arrested Knight after they saw the founder of bankrupt Death Row Records beating the woman while brandishing a knife in a parking lot near the Las Vegas Strip.
