P. Diddy Arrested After Fight With UCLA Football Coach

P. Diddy was arrested by UCLA campus police Monday at 12:30 p.m. PT after an altercation involving a kettlebell at the school’s Acosta Athletic Training Complex, according to a university release. He is being charged with one felony count of assault with a deadly weapon. No one was seriously harmed, according to the release.

“I’m thankful that our staff showed the level of professionalism that they did in handling this situation,” UCLA football coach Jim Mora said 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.”

Diddy should be transferred to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Inmate Reception Center tonight, according to the release.

TMZ reports Diddy (aka Sean Combs) allegedly targeted strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi.

UPDATE:


Sources connected with Diddy tells TMZ the rap mogul is adamant he acted in SELF DEFENSE and was not the aggressor.

Diddy insists the drama began during a workout session yesterday because strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi was "riding Justin badly" and told him not to come back until the end of the summer.

Diddy went to the campus today to speak with Alosi -- believing he has an "issue" with Justin -- but things didn't go well when he arrived to campus.

Diddy sources say the coach would not see him and staff told him to leave ... but Diddy went to Alosi's office instead where Alosi told him to get out and threatened to call security if he didn't leave.

Diddy said, "Fine, I'll call police" ... and Alosi snapped -- going after Diddy with his hands.

Diddy insists he grabbed a kettlebell and held it up in a defensive position ... but did not attack with an intent to injure the coach.
