Shortly after 12:30 p.m. today, Sean Combs (also known as P. Diddy) was arrested at UCLA’s Acosta Athletic Training Complex on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, which was a kettlebell. No one was seriously injured and UCPD is investigating. Combs is expected to be transported to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Inmate Reception Center later this evening.

According to TMZ, the coach involved is Sal Alosi, the team's strength and conditioning coordinator. You may recognize that name. Alosi used to be the strength coach for the New York Jets, until he was caught tripping an opposing player who was running down the field to cover a punt.

"The various accounts of the event and charges that are being reported are wholly inaccurate," Nathalie Moar, a rep for Combs Enterprises, said in a statement to The Associated Press. "What we can say now is that any actions taken by Mr. Combs were solely defensive in nature to protect himself and his son."

University police allege three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of making terrorist threats and one count of battery, according to a UCLA statement.

"We are confident that once the true facts are revealed, the case will be dismissed," Combs Enterprises said.
