Life imitated art as the actor who portrayed Suge Knight in the “Straight Outta Compton” movie was arrested for beating up security guard at a Miami resort.
Richard Marcus Taylor was arrested early Monday and charged with misdemeanor battery after roughing up a Marenas Beach resort security guard.
The row started Sunday night when the uniformed security officer at the Marenas Beach Resort, 18683 Collins Ave, asked Taylor to take his foot off a table in the lobby, police said.
Taylor refused and told the guard “to leave him alone,” according to an arrest report. The guard walked to the front desk to ask staffers to call police.
Five minutes later, as the guard waited at the front desk, Taylor walked over and pushed him to the ground, the report said. “A full physical fight ensued,” the report said.
Responding officers arrived and saw Taylor, all 6’3, 265 pounds of him, pick the victim up and body slam him.
Taylor also appears in “Luke Cage” and the upcoming movie “Baby Driver”. His IMDB page lists him as a stuntman, martial arts instructor, and fitness trainer in addition to acting.
