Suge Knight Misses Court Hearing On Murder Charges After Refusing To Leave Jail Cell

As the Suge Knight Saga continues, Suge Knight decided that he wasn’t going to court to face murder charges because he was under the weather —so he didn’t!

According to the LA Times, after trying unsuccessfully to peel Knight out of his LA County jail cell to attend his mandatory court hearing, the judge on the case contemplated having him forcibly removed.

The judge eventually decided to delay the court appearance to coincide with the former Death Row label owner’s robbery case which was scheduled for May, 29.

Usually Suge uses his health as a “get out of jail” free card, but this time it appears that he used it to “stay in jail”.

Although Marion “Suge” Knight’s alleged involvement in January’s deadly hit-and-run incident is filling the headlines as of late, let?s not forget that the co-founder of Death Row Records is still on trial for another crime stemming from last September.

Yesterday (May 27), Knight was scheduled to appear in court for his role in stealing a celebrity photographer’s camera alongside comedian Katt Williams on September 5. However, Knight’s court appearance was subsequently delayed after he refused to leave his downtown Los Angeles jail cell due to illness, according to Billboard.

Superior Court Judge Ronald Coen was reportedly close to having Knight forcibly removed from his cell, however he instead delayed the proceedings to coincide with a hearing in Knight?s murder case, which is scheduled to take place tomorrow (May 29).

Both Knight and Williams have pleaded not guilty to the charges…

Home Of Former Detroit Kingpin Raided; Accused Of Selling Heroin

7850388_G — Former Detroit kingpin Frank Usher

A one-time convicted murderer and Detroit drug kingpin Frank Usher is back in handcuffs.

Frank Lee Usher got a life sentence for murdering and beheading three people back in the 1980s, but he was a free man ever since a successful appeal in 1994 – until now.

On Thursday morning, Usher’s Southfield home was raided, accused of selling heroin to undercover federal agents.

Police once believed he may have been involved in 15 murders but he was convicted of three. He was also previously convicted of aggravated assault and a felon in possession of a firearm.

Usher was sent to Jackson Prison, sentenced to life for a triple murder in 1979 that shocked the city. Two men and a woman were shot multiple times, beheaded with their hands cut off at the Federated Democratic Club on the east side.

Usher was one of five charged with the murders. After serving 15 years he had his sentence overturned on appeal by a technicality.

Investigators say Usher sells heroin with another suspect at a second house on St. Aubin and E. McNichols.

FOX 2 had the only cameras rolling as ATF agents and Wayne County deputies take Usher into custody.

Usher told a judge that he is retired from a restaurant position since 2002. Prosecutors say he is able to pay for a large residence on Webster near Southfield and 12 Mile.

Agents seized Usher’s black Ford F-150 truck while at the same time the house was being raided on St. Aubin and three other suspects taken into custody.

Some who live near the drug house say that it has been a source of danger and fear.

“Yeah, I wish they could get rid of all of them,” said a neighbor. “We’ve got kids around here.”

No bond was given for Usher, 71, whose past convictions are being reviewed.

He will be held in Wayne County Jail until a possible arraignment Friday in court.
