LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19 (UPI) -- Suge Knight was rushed to the hospital from court for a second time Thursday in Los Angeles.

The 49-year-old record producer, born Marion Knight, was transported by ambulance after arriving at a hearing to answer robbery charges. Knight took ill before proceedings began, and was admitted to the Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center jail ward.

Knight's attorney, David Kenner, told reporters his client complained of stomach pain in a meeting Wednesday. The lawyer said the ailment is likely related to injuries the producer sustained after being shot six times in August 2014.

Knight and comedian Katt Williams were arrested and charged with robbery for allegedly stealing a camera from a photographer in October 2014. The producer is also accused of murder in a reported hit-and-run, and was rushed to the hospital after pleading not guilty earlier this month.
