AceShowbiz - "Straight Outta Compton" actor R. Marcos Taylor has been handed a year of probation for making terroristic threats. Taylor, who portrayed notorious rap mogul Suge Knight in the N.W.A. biopic, was arrested in his native New Jersey in August 2017 after a heated altercation with employees at a TD Bank branch.
Police were called to the scene, where he allegedly confronted the responding officers, and he was eventually taken into custody, with officials booking him on obstruction of justice and disorderly conduct charges.
The 41-year-old, full name Richard Marcos Taylor, subsequently reached a plea deal with prosecutors, and on Monday, May 14, he pleaded guilty to a count of making terroristic threats. The other charges were dismissed in exchange for probation.
"I'd like to put this behind me as soon as possible," he told the court, according to The Star-Ledger of Newark.
It's not the only legal issue Taylor faced from last year - the day after the bank incident, he was accused of lashing out at staff at a local restaurant after becoming unhappy with the service. He was arrested and charged with four counts of assault, one count of criminal mischief, and one count of disorderly conduct.
Taylor also found himself in trouble with cops in May, 2017, when he was booked for misdemeanor battery after reportedly clashing with a security guard in Miami, Florida.
