“We are not purview to any medical treatment he may be for receiving,” said the Sheriff’s Department spokesman, who did not specify whether Knight was being held in a normal jail cell or elsewhere.
Knight, 49, complained of chest pains in court Tuesday after pleading not guilty to murder charges for allegedly running over two men — killing one of them — following an argument.
Mark Blankenship, president of Everlert Entertainment and who has business dealings with Knight, told reporters afterward that “he has special medicine he needs” that he couldn’t access after turning himself in early last Friday flanked by his lawyer.

At the time of his most recent arrest, Knight was free on bail in a robbery case.
