Marion 'Suge' Knight Asked By Judge To Stay Away From Man And Family After Alleged Assault
|
Last week Marion "Suge" Knight, 45, was arrested for pointing a gun at a person. Now the judge has ordered Knight to not get anywhere near a rap artist, Elwood E. Chatman, who claimed that Knight threatened to kill him. The Los Angeles Superior Court Judge, Carol Boas Goodson, ordered that Knight needs to stay 100 yards away from the rapper and his family.
In Chatman's court papers it is stated that Knight told Chatman that he would take Chatman's life. Chatman even went on to assert that he had been threatened and assaulted twice before, though he did not say if Knight was the assaulter in his prior incidents.
The Los Angeles police report states that last Thursday Knight was put under arrest on a warrant for driving on a suspended license, and on suspicion of felony assault with a deadly weapon. A hearing is scheduled for June 8.
Assault and battery are two separate and distinct criminal acts, usually grouped together in a criminal charge. If you threaten someone with bodily harm with the intention to inflict it, then the crime is considered assault. The crime of battery is when one causes bodily harm to another by using direct physical contact. Both assault and battery are violent crimes and are very serious charges in the state of California.
