Department spokesman Deputy Kelvin Moody said Knight was
released from hospital at about 9 p.m. (0500 GMT). He declined
to describe the nature of Knight's treatment.
Knight was taken to hospital on Tuesday shortly after pleading
not guilty to murder, attempted murder and two counts of felony
hit-and-run. Prosecutors said he ran over two men with his
pickup truck in a parking lot, killing one of them.
Attorneys for Knight, who co-founded the influential hip-hop
label Death Row Records, say he was attacked in the lot and was
fleeing when he accidentally hit the men with his vehicle.
Knight, who has served time for violating the terms of past
sentences, pleaded not guilty in November to a charge stemming
from accusations he stole a camera from a celebrity
photographer.
He was free on bail in that case at the time of the parking lot
incident.
A lawyer for the second man struck by Knight's vehicle, Cle
"Bone" Sloan, told the Los Angeles Times that Sloan was
considering filing a civil lawsuit against Knight.
