Suge Knight, seen here in a Las Vegas jail, is a fugitive in California, where he's charged with stealing a photographer's camera.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Rap music mogul Marion "Suge" Knight had a traffic warrant reduced to a parking ticket, but may remain in a Las Vegas jail at least through the weekend following his arrest as a fugitive in a California robbery case.

Knight's attorney, Richard Schonfeld, says a judge ordered the founder of Death Row Records to pay a $190 fine on what had been a June 2013 suspended-license charge in Las Vegas.

Knight was arrested Wednesday in Las Vegas and remains jailed ahead of an extradition hearing Monday.

Schonfeld says Knight hopes to post bail pending his appearance in court in California.

That case stems from a celebrity photographer's complaint that Knight and comedian Katt Williams stole her camera Sept. 5 in Beverly Hills.

Williams was arrested in the Los Angeles area.
