Suge Knight Accused Of Ordering Hit

Marion “Suge” Knight is in legal trouble again, this time for allegedly ordering a hit on a man who he had an altercation with in Los Angeles. Legal documents were filed yesterday (May 24th) in Los Angeles Superior Court, where a judge ordered Knight to stay at least 100 yards away from the man. In court papers, the individual claimed that after Knight was released from jail on an assault charge last week, eight men came to his house last Friday (May 21st). The goons were allegedly sent by Knight to “get…or kill” the man. The individual claims Knight himself said he was going to “take” his life. At press time, it is unclear if the man who filed the restraining order yesterday is the same individual Knight had an altercation with last Thursday (May 20th) in Los Angeles. In that incident, a man accused Knight of pointing a gun at him during the altercation.
