Suge Knight has been facing major legal troubles the last few years, with the record label executive facing charges in a death threat case. Now, news has arrived that the actor who played Knight in Straight Outta Compton is facing charges which eerily mirror his portrayal of Knight in the movie.

Actor R. Marcos Taylor has been charged with multiple counts of assault for allegedly punching two people. Taylor is maintaining his innocence though, saying that he was jumped. When asked by TMZ what went down, Taylor said he got jumped in the parking lot of a Carrabba's in New Jersey. Issues for Taylor occurred on August 9 when the actor allegedly punched the manager of the restaurant in their face after the argument between the two got heated. From there, a few employees had to drag Taylor out of the restaurant, which caused a full-on fight to break out according to reports. During the fight, Taylor allegedly punched a woman in the side of her head.

According to his attorney, the man did not punch or kick anyone in that scenario, and that he was only defending himself when he tossed one of the employees away from him.
