Suge Knight Attempts To Leave Jail For...

Suge Knight is attempting to get out of jail to attend his mother's funeral.

Knight's mother, Maxine Chatman, passed away Sunday at a hospital in Paramount, CA at the age of 77.

She suffered various health problems including a stroke, lung collapse, and kidney failure.

According to TMZ, the L.A. County Sheriff's Department says he will not get a "get out of jail free" card to attend any events.
