Feb. 19 2009, Published 12:33 p.m. ET
Rap producer Marion 'Suge' Knight has pleaded guilty to beating a woman in a Las Vegas parking lot last August.
According to the Associated Press, the co-founder of 'Death Row Records' accepted the charge of misdemeanor battery in Las Vegas Justice Court on Tuesday, in exchange for the dismissal of two felony drug charges and one felony coercion charge.
Last year, police officers saw the 43 year-old reportedly hitting Melissa Isaac while holding a knife in a lot near the Las Vegas Strip. In addition, Knight was in possession of Ecstasy and hydrocodone.
Knight was ordered to undergo counseling and pay a $340 fine by Justice of the Peace Eric Goodman. He is due back in court for a status check in August.
