A judge has dismissed those drug and battery charges that had been filed against Suge Knight.
As previously reported, the former Death Row Records chief was accused of hitting a woman in the car park of a Las Vegas strip joint back in June. He also allegedly threatened her with a knife. The drugs were found on his person when he was stopped in relation to the assault allegations.
A spokesman for the Clark County Court confirmed the charges had been dismissed, without prejudice, last week. According to Knight's lawyer charges were dropped because the prosecution had both "discovery problems and witness problems", whatever that means. The Court official added that the District Attorney's office may as yet try to reinstate the charges by taking them to a grand jury hearing.
