SUGE KNIGHT POSTS BAIL AFTER VEGAS ARREST

LATEST: Fallen rap mogul MARION `SUGE' KNIGHT has posted bail after he was arrested in Las Vegas on assault and domestic violence charges.
The former Death Row Records boss was detained early on Wednesday morning (27Aug08) after leaving a strip club, for allegedly attacking his girlfriend of three years in a parking lot and brandishing a knife.
The incident is said to have followed an argument in their car. The unnamed woman was treated at a nearby hospital, but her injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Las Vegas Police Lieutenant Chris Carroll says, "A citizen sees the beating in a parking lot, police get there fast, they see him beating her. It's a good solid case.
"This is a very large man. He was on top of her, actually in the act of violently beating her when the officers arrived, with the knife in his hand."
Knight was booked into the Clark County jail on felony charges of assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a controlled substance, and misdemeanour charges of domestic violence and possession of dangerous drugs without a prescription.
He later posted $19,000 (GBP10,555) bail and was scheduled to be released late on Wednesday (27Aug08) night. He is due to attend a hearing at Las Vegas Justice Court on 26 September (08).
