Sean “Diddy” Combs’ assistant, Brendan Paul, has been charged with felony drug possession following his arrest last month amid a federal sex trafficking probe into the music mogul. The 25-year-old, who played college basketball for Syracuse University from 2018 to 2020, entered a not guilty plea Wednesday through his lawyer. Paul was allegedly named as Diddy’s “personal drug ‘mule'” in accuser Rodney Jones’ complaint.
A 40-year-old Florida woman, Julia Jones, was arrested after being found highly intoxicated, spitting on deputies, banging her head on their patrol vehicle, and being in possession of hydrocodone. Jones initially struggled to stand upright and remain balanced, and when asked to step away from traffic, she became agitated and began screaming at the deputies. As another deputy attempted to read her her rights, Jones became belligerent and spat on them. After a search of her backpack revealed three pills containing acetaminophen and hydrocodone, Jones was arrested and charged with disorderly intoxication, battery on a law enforcement officer, and possession of hydrocodone. She was taken to the hospital for medical clearance, where she banged her head on the car before being taken to jail. Jones posted a $7,500 bond and was released.
Clyde ‘Peter’ Hall, a former New York Giants player, was sentenced to five years in prison for attempting to sell fentanyl-laced drugs outside his Manhattan apartment. Hall, now 85 years old, had previously been involved in a 2010 financial fraud case and was out on home confinement when he was arrested for possession of six kilograms of cocaine in 2021. Despite pleading guilty, he was sentenced to the minimum penalty, with his attorney arguing that he should spend his remaining years surrounded by family rather than in prison.
