Nov 16 - Suge Knight Faces Drug Charges from August Assault

[żʞхņ1]

AllHipHop.com has verified that Suge Knight will face felony drug charges stemming from his August 27 arrest for the alleged assault of girlfriend Melissa Isaac.



Police reports reveal that officers arrived and witnessed Knight wielding a knife and punching a naked Isaac in a parking lot off the Las Vegas Strip.


According district attorney David Roger, Knight was arrested that night for felony assault, misdemeanor domestic violence, and for the illegal drugs Ecstasy and hydrocodone (a codeine-based pain reliever). With the lab reports now completed, the path has been cleared to file a criminal complaint.


"It took a while for the lab to analyze the substances, which cause a delay in filing the charges," Roger explained. "Considering Mr. Knight's notoriety, these are serious charges."


The felony complaint will charge Knight on Monday November 17 with battery and two counts of possession of a controlled substance.


The assault charge on Knight remains in jeopardy, as the alleged victim Melissa Isaac has gone missing since the incident. At the time of her disappearance, Isaac was scheduled to testify against the former Death Row CEO in court.


Even without Isaac, Roger's prosecution team has vowed to move forward with the case, as two arresting officers were witness to the assault.


At press time, Suge Knight could not be reached for comment.
