Rap Mogul Suge Knight, Comedian Katt Williams Arrested on Robbery Charge

[

Rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight and comedian Micah “Katt” Williams were arrested today on suspicion of stealing a camera from a paparazzo outside a Beverly Hills studio last month.

Knight, 49, was arrested in Las Vegas, while Williams, 43, was taken into custody when he showed up at an Inglewood courtroom for arraignment in a separate assault case, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

Both men are facing a single felony count of robbery stemming from the alleged Sept. 5 camera theft.

Prosecutors are asking that bail be set at $1 million for Knight and $75,000 for Williams, but it’s not immediately clear when they’ll be arraigned.

Knight -- who has a prior conviction for assault with a deadly weapon -- faces up to 30 years to life in prison if convicted, while Williams could face up to seven years behind bars, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
