Brendan Paul: Diddy's alleged 'drug mule' arrested at Miami Airport for cocaine and marijuana possession
MIAMI DADE, FLORIDA: A man suspected of being involved in drug transportation for Sean 'Diddy' Combs was apprehended while attempting to board a flight, coinciding with a police raid on the rapper's mansion.
Brendan Paul, aged 25, was arrested at Opa-Locka Airport in Miami by Miami-Dade Police and Homeland Security agents on Monday, March 25, 2024 as per Daily Mail.
Federal agents conducted simultaneous raids on Diddy's residences in Los Angeles and Miami as part of a sex trafficking investigation, where two of his sons were detained.
Justin and King Combs were subsequently released without charges. During the Los Angeles raid, at least two individuals were observed being handcuffed.
What did arrest warrant claim about Brendan Paul?
Sean Combs aka Diddy was seen at Opa-Locka Airport around 3 pm, shortly before Paul's arrest there, after his jet flew in from LA.
As of Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security and local law enforcement have been unable to provide information on Diddy's whereabouts, and it remains unclear where he traveled to.
Initially slated for a flight to the Caribbean, Diddy obscured the public tracking of his jet upon its arrival in Miami, although he was not subjected to arrest despite police confiscating his phones.
Subsequently, the LoveAir LLC Gulfstream 5 jet was traced to the Caribbean island of Antigua, without Diddy on board.
An arrest warrant details Paul's admission of possessing drugs in his luggage as law enforcement intercepted him at Miami Opa Locka Executive Airport around 4.15 pm on Monday.
According to the document filed by the Miami-Dade Police Department, Paul was apprehended for possession of suspected cocaine and marijuana candy. The contraband was found in his personal travel bags, as he had claimed before being searched.
Agents tested the suspected cocaine, leading to charges against Paul for felony cocaine possession and marijuana possession.
Currently, Paul, a 25-year-old from Chagrin Falls, Ohio, is detained at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami on two bonds, each set at $2,500.
Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones' lawsuit against Diddy
Diddy's Miami mansion was in a mess after federal agents broke in, searched his rooms, and went through his things in a sex trafficking investigation.
Brendan Paul was mentioned as Diddy's 'drug mule' in a $30 million lawsuit filed by Rodney 'Lil Rod' Jones against Diddy.
The lawsuit claimed that Paul and others helped Diddy get drugs and guns. It wasn't confirmed if Paul's arrest was related to the lawsuit or the raids on Diddy's properties.
Jones said he saw Paul get drugs for Diddy and his group and carry them on flights between Los Angeles, Miami, Virginia, the Caribbean, and London. Jones also said he saw Paul carry guns for Diddy in Miami.
Jones claimed Paul was with Diddy in a recording studio and was photographed holding prescription pill bottles and a black pouch filled with drugs. Jones is suing Diddy for serious illegal activities, including sexual assault.
He accused Diddy and actor Cuba Gooding Jr of sexual assault on Diddy's yacht. Jones said he was forced to recruit prostitutes and have sex with them for Diddy's pleasure. He also said he saw Diddy drug girls' drinks at his parties.
Jones named Diddy's son Justin, his chief of staff Kristina Khorram, and Universal Music Group chief executive Sir Lucian Grange in the lawsuit. He accused Khorram of grooming him on Diddy's behalf.
Jones said famous people attended Diddy's parties because of his connections, but there's no suggestion of wrongdoing by Prince Harry.
Notably, Diddy denied the allegations, calling them sickening, and his lawyer said they were pure fiction.
