Marion 'Suge' Knight has been released from a Las Vegas jail.

The founder of the bankrupt Death Row Records posted $19,000 bail on Wednesday and promised to appear in the Las Vegas Justice Court on September 26, on felony assault and drug charges.

Police arrested the hip-hop mogul on Wednesday morning after officers say they saw him beat his girlfriend while brandishing a knife in a parking lot near the Las Vegas Strip.

The woman was not stabbed but she was treated at a hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening.

Police say Knight had the drugs Ecstasy and hydrocodone when he was arrested.

A Clark County Detention Center clerk says records do not indicate when Knight was released.
