An SUV belonging to former Death Row Records kingpin Marion "Suge" Knight was seized by the Los Angeles police department. Apparently the LAPD suspected that Suge was ridin' dirty and he was ... with a suspended license.
According to TMZ, the rap mogul was not arrested for his latest law-breaking caper. The black SUV that he was driving got hauled away by police, and rather than call on a bud to bail him out of his dilemma, he resorted to asking a female onlooker for a ride to his destination.
Suge was arrested in the not-too-distant past for yet another traffic violation back in December for failing to appear in court.
The hip-hop heavyweight who rose to fame and fortune, after founding his record label in 1991 and bringing in such artists as Snoop Doggy Dogg and Tupac Shakur, may not be able to financially beat this latest legal go-round: He is reportedly broke and in dire need of dough.
The man who once boasted that he owned dozens of cars, a nightclub, expensive jewelry galore and even the Las Vegas mansion that was featured in the film "Casino" has fallen on hard times. Bankruptcy, legal bills and baby momma lawsuits have allegedly left Suge penniless.
The Compton, Calif., native's possessions were sold late last year on the A&E network show "Storage Wars."
