Suge Knight’s $2 million bail has reportedly been revoked by a judge.
The 49-year-old co-founder of Death Row Records was arrested last Friday after a hit-and-run took place the previous afternoon in Los Angeles, which took the life of Terry Carter and injured Cle ‘Bone’ Sloan and TMZ is now reporting Knight will have to remain incarcerated until trial begins, as a judge ruled it too dangerous to allow him to leave jail on bail.
“He is no longer being held on $2 million bail because authorities believe he’s both a flight risk and more than capable of intimidating witnesses,” the website writes.
Apparently law enforcement officials have informed the outlet prosecutors convinced the bail commissioner Knight’s vast criminal history proves he’s too dangerous to be out on the streets.
Knight was taken into custody last week for murder. He has been in trouble with the law many times before, including being sentenced to nine years in jail for a probation violation. In August he was shot six times while in a nightclub in Los Angeles.
Apparently Knight’s defense for fleeing the hit-and-run scene in January is that he was feeling confused when the incident took place. It’s claimed the music mogul asserts his health was compromised due to being shot last summer and recently suffering from a blood clot, well-being issues which caused him not to realize what he was doing at the time.
Suge will be appearing at the Compton courthouse on Tuesday to address allegations of murder.
