Suge Knight is in trouble again.
The founder of Death Row Records was arrested and jailed Monday for allegedly violating parole. According to Reuters, a local Los Angeles news station, KCAL-TV, reported police found evidence of four unspecified parole violations when they raided Tha Row’s Beverly Hills offices in November.
The 37-year-old Knight was convicted of assault and weapons violations in 1992 and was sentenced to probation. In 1996, he violated that probation during a fight in a Las Vegas casino which preceded the shooting death of Death Row rapper Tupac Shakur. Knight was sentenced to five years in prison. Upon his release, Knight vowed to stay out of trouble and said he was writing his memoirs, Reuters reports.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the police may have found evidence that links Knight to Los Angeles area gang members, with whom the rap mogul is forbidden to associate under the conditions of his parole.
“Mr. Knight has done everything within his power to avoid any kind of trouble and at the same time remain active in the hip-hop recording community,” Knight‘s lawyer David Chesnoff told the newspaper. “His association with people that the parole board finds objectionable is in all likelihood, if true, directly connected to the music business and nothing else.”
If found guilty of violating his parole, Knight could be sentenced to a year in prison, the Times said.
