P Diddy was arrested on the campus of UCLA Monday afternoon for assault with a deadly weapon. TMZ alleges Combs got into an altercation with Bruins conditioning football coach, Sal Alosi and attempted to strike him with a kettle ball. Comb's son Justin is red shirt junior who plays defensive back on the team. Reportedly Diddy wanted to speak to the coach for driving his son too hard, but was ignored when he went to the sports complex to talk. The music moguls hot temper took over from there, but Diddy's camp claims he did not swing first. No one was seriously injured.
“I’m thankful that our staff showed the level of professionalism in a statement. “This is an unfortunate incident for all parties involved. While UCPD continues to review this matter, we will let the legal process run its course and refrain from further comment at this time.”

Combs has a rap sheet already with a history of violent behavior as AP reports. . .
He was acquitted of bribery and weapons-related charges in connection with a 1999 shooting at a New York nightclub. A jury cleared Combs of firing a weapon during the dispute that wounded three bystanders, as well as bribing his chauffeur to take the rap.
Combs was arrested in 1999 for his involvement in the beating of former Interscope executive Steve Stoute in New York. Combs apologized, the charges were reduced, and he was ordered to attend an anger management class.
Combs and Stoute have since mended their relationship, appearing on stage together at Cannes in 2013.
Earlier this year, an Arizona man accused Combs of punching him in the face at a Super Bowl party. Combs was not arrested.
