Video After The Jump
Diddy is cooling his heels in a UCLA campus jail after letting his temper get the best of him while watching his son, Justin Combs, football practice.
TMZ reports that Diddy, real name Sean Combs, got angry when he saw a coach yelling at Justin during a strength and conditioning drill.
After practice Puffy confronted Strength and Conditioning Coach Sal Alosi while the coach was on a phone call. Alosi told the Bad Boy Records CEO to hold on. Instead of waiting for Alosi to finish his call Diddy picked up a kettlebell and swung it at the coach.
Luckily for all parties involved, the business mogul missed because a witness claims that if he had connected, Alosi would be dead.
The entire incident was caught on tape, according to TMZ's report.
Head Coach Jim Mora called this an "unfortunate incident for all parties involved" -- and said they would let the legal process run its course.
**UPDATE** June 23
Diddy is out of jail after posting bail of $50,000 on Monday night, June 22. However, he and his lawyers now have a lot of work to do
The Los Angeles Times reports that authorities hit the business mogul with multiple charges including three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of making terrorist threats and one count of battery.
**UPDATE** June 24
Diddy may have caught a huge break in the case.
TMZ reports that the UCLA coaching staff held a meeting and decided they don't want to press charges and want police to drop the case.
There is a chance the assistants who were allegedly threatened by Puffy could file charges, but that doesn't appear likely.
Local authorities told TMZ that they will still forward the case to L.A. County D.A. for felony review next week. There is video of the incident and charges could still be filed.
We should find out soon if Diddy will face any punishment.
