Suge Knight

Suge Knight has been released on bail from a Las Vegas jail after his Wednesday arrest for allegedly beating his girlfriend while driving.

This, of course, isn't Suge's first brush with the law. A little review: He was convicted of assault and placed on probation in 1992 for attacking two rappers at a recording studio. In 1995, he pleaded no contest to trafficking fire arms. After violating his probation in 1996 (by assaulting another man in a Las Vegas hotel), he was placed in jail for five years. In 2003, he went back to jail for 10 months for violating parole by punching a parking valet.

What was already a rough year for Long Beach legend Nate Dogg just got a bit rougher. Appearing in a Compton courtroom yesterday in a wheelchair, the rapper (born Nathaniel Dwayne Hale) was arraigned on charges of making criminal threats, stalking and a misdemeanor charge of driving on a suspended license for a drunken-driving violation. The charges, to which he plead not guilty, stem from an arrest last month in an incident in which the rapper allegedly chased his estranged wife on a Los Angeles highway.

The rapper appeared in court in a wheelchair due to the effects of a stroke he suffered earlier this year, and his lawyer requested that he remain free to continue his rehabilitation. Prosecutors argued that the incidents occurred after the stroke and that Nate Dogg still poses a threat. The judge in the case doubled the 38-year-old rapper's bail to $100,000 and ordered him to stay away from his wife.
