Diddy's Alleged Drug Mule Arrested on Cocaine and Marijuana Charges: Report | ZGY8B6N | 2024-03-27 23:08:01
The man accused of being a drug mule for Sean "Diddy" Combs was arrested Monday, March 25, on cocaine and marijuana possession fees.
In response to arrest data obtained by Rolling Stone, Brendan Paul was taken into custody at Miami-Opa Locka Government Airport around four:30 p.m. ET, shortly after Homeland Security executed raids at two of Diddy's, 54, houses, reportedly in connection to a federal sex trafficking investigation.
The airport is identical location where Diddy was seen pacing outside on Monday afternoon in video obtained by TMZ, roughly 90 minutes after Paul, 25, would have been taken into custody.
Arresting officers found cocaine in Paul's "private travel luggage" and he was taken to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Middle in Miami where he was booked on costs of cocaine possession and possession of a managed substance. He has since posted bail and been released, based on TMZ.

It's unclear if Paul's arrest is tied to the larger investigation involving Diddy.
In a lawsuit filed by producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones on February, 26, Paul was named as a "mule" for Diddy, alleging he was answerable for "acquir[ing] and distribut[ing] Mr. Combs medicine and guns."
Jones claimed to have seen Paul "acquire and distribute" medicine to Diddy, together with "ecstasy, cocaine, GHB, ketamine, marijuana, mushrooms, and tuci."
The lawsuit alleged the substances can be packed in carry-on luggage to make it by way of TSA.
Jones alleged to have "personally witnessed" Paul transport or intend to transport unlawful substances in his baggage while touring between Los Angeles, Miami, Virginia, the Caribbean and London during three separate occurrences between December 2022-November 2023.

The $30 million lawsuit filed by Jones also accused Diddy of sexual assault and harassment during his time working for the music mogul from September 2022 to November 2023.
In a press release to Us Weekly, Diddy's lawyer Shawn Holley denied the accusations calling Jones a "liar."
"Lil Rod is nothing greater than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit, shamelessly on the lookout for an undeserved payday," Holley stated. "His reckless name-dropping about events which might be pure fiction and simply did not occur is nothing greater than a clear try and garner headlines."
On Monday, Diddy's houses in Los Angeles and Miami have been both raided by Homeland Security.
"Earlier right now, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed regulation enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with help from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our native regulation enforcement companions," Homeland Security shared in a March 25 assertion to Us Weekly. "We'll present further info as it turns into obtainable."
