Marion “Suge” Knight has arrived at the Wasco State Prison and Reception Center in California, where he could be staying for the remainder of his 28 years prison sentence.
Suge was transferred to the Kern County facility on Tuesday (October 23, 2018), according to state records. A mugshot obtained by TMZ shows Knight with a sullen expression.
He’ll have to go through physical and mental examinations and review his records before getting settled at Wasco. Depending on the results he can stay there, or be transferred to another prison.
Suge was sentenced to 28 years in state prison earlier this month. Back in September, the rapper had pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter in a January 2015 hit-and-run incident in which a vehicle he was riding in struck two pedestrians in Compton, California — killing 55-year-old Terry Carter.
Suge pleaded copped to one count of voluntary manslaughter and also admitted he used his vehicle as a deadly weapon.
Suge Knight Eligible For Parole In 2037
Inmate data present the 53-year-old Suge Knight is eligible for parole in October 2037. He can be 73 on the time of his launch if granted parole.
This is not the first time Knight has faced criminal charges.
In 1992, Suge was charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon. He pleaded no contest in 1995 and was sentenced to five years probation.
Then in February 1997, Suge was sentenced to nine years in prison for violating terms of his probation when he took part in a fight at a Las Vegas hotel hours before Tupac Shakur was wounded in a drive-by attack. Shakur was taken to University Medical Center in Las Vegas where he died on Sept. 13, 1996, at age 25.
