Sean 'P.Diddy' Combs was arrested Monday on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, among other charges, stemming from an alleged incident at his son's UCLA campus.
Hip hop mogul, Sean 'P.Diddy' Combs has been arrested for allegedly attacking an American football coach with a kettlebell weight during an altercation. The incident allegedly took place at the athletic facility of UCLA where his son, Justin Combs attends. The rapper was taken into custody at the campus jail on Monday afternoon.
He was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and was later transferred by campus officers to LA County Jail, but sources associated to the rapper claim he was acting in self defense.
The insider connected to Diddy says it all began during a workout the previous day where coach Sal Alosi was 'riding Justin badly' and eventually told him not to come back until the end of summer. Then the mogul went to the campus to talk to Alosi because he felt like the coach had an 'issue' with Justin and that meeting obviously did not go down very well.
Another source said that when Diddy was told to 'hang on' as the coach was on the phone, he grabbed a kettlebell and swung it which narrowly missed the coach. He was arrested about 12:30 p.m. Police updated the charges late Monday night to three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of making terrorist threats and one count of battery. No one was seriously injured, police said.
His bail was listed online at $160,000, but sheriff's officials says it was set at $50,000 in their system. No explanation was given for the discrepancy.
Combs had posted bail and was released at 9:50 p.m., authorities said.
