Suge Knight, Katt Williams Arrested for Allegedly Robbing Photographer
Death Row Records founder Suge Knight and comedian Katt Williams were arrested and charged with robbery Wednesday in connection with a September incident in Beverly Hills, where they allegedly stole a paparazzo's camera.
Williams told TMZ yesterday that the two never stole anything, claiming they chased the photographer off because she was taking video of a 5-year-old child in an alley. Williams said the pap agreed to erase the video, then took off running.
It's the 10th arrest since 2006 for Williams, including a 2012 arrest for reckless driving after he rode a three-wheeled motorcycle down a Sacramento sidewalk and allegedly almost hit 5 pedestrians during the resulting police chase.
He was arrested at an L.A. courthouse while being arraigned in an unrelated assault case, and faces 7 years if convicted.
Knight, most famous for probably not killing Tupac Shakur, was picked up in Las Vegas. Because of a prior conviction for assault with a deadly weapon, he faces 30 years in prison if convicted.
