Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested on June 22 after getting into an altercation at an office on UCLA’s campus.


The incident began when the Bad Boy Records founder was watching the school’s football team practice and took exception to a coach yelling at his son, Justin, a defensive back on the team.


Combs is said to have followed the unidentified coach into an office at the Acosta Athletic Training Complex to confront him. It was there that the argument allegedly turned violent and Combs reportedly struck the man with a kettle bell.

Combs was charged with three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, a single count of battery, and a single count of making terrorist threats.


He was given a bond of $160,000 and will appear in court on July 13.

Justin Combs received a $54,000 athletic scholarship in 2012

According to ESPN, Combs, a three-star recruit who chose the Bruins over Iowa, Virginia and Illinois, went to Iona Prep in New Rochelle, N.Y., and reportedly graduated with a 3.75 GPA. He helped lead the Gaels to the semifinals of the Catholic High School Athletic Association Class AA playoffs last season, primarily playing cornerback but also quarterbacking at times. The 5-foot-9, 175-pound corner had one interception and threw four touchdowns.
