The lawyer for Marion “Suge” Knight said the rap music mogul did not point a gun at a man Wednesday night in the Los Angeles area.

“He’s innocent, 100%,” Marc Brumer told CNN in a phone interview. “Suge Knight is a businessman. He is not a person who would carry a gun or flash a gun at anybody. That’s not Suge Knight.”

Knight, 45, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon involving a firearm and with driving under a suspended license, the Los Angeles Police said.

According to investigators, an unidentified man reported that Knight aimed a weapon at him. Knight, who co-founded Death Row Records, was later found driving a Cadillac Escalade in the city of Gardena, in the greater Los Angeles area, police said. He was arrested in the city of Gardena without incident just after midnight, authorities said.
