Diddy arrested for attacking UCLA S&C Coach with kettlebell

LOS ANGELES -- Hip-hop music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs was arrested Monday afternoon on the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles, where his son is on the football team, police said.

Diddy, 45, was arrested at UCLA's Acosta Athletic Training Complex on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon shortly after 12:30 p.m., according to a statement from campus police.

The deadly weapon was a kettlebell, which is used by athletes in weight training.

No one was seriously injured and campus police are investigating. Officials did not identify the victim of the assault, or say what led to it.

Fox Sports reported the victim was UCLA strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi, the former New York Jets staffer known for tripping a Miami Dolphins player near the Jets sideline in a December 2010 game. Alosi was suspended indefinitely for the incident and resigned soon after.

4:15 PM PT -- Our UCLA sources tell us Diddy confronted Strength and Conditioning Coach Sal Alosi while Alosi was on the phone. We're told Diddy was told to "hang on" but he wasn't having it and picked up a kettlebell and swung it, narrowly missing Alosi. One source said if Diddy had connected, it could have killed Alosi.

Rick Neuheisel: Diddy Combs' celebrity led to son's UCLA offer

"I took them on their campus tour," Neuheisel reportedly said. "A half-hour into it, (Diddy) asked me who I was. He said, 'Tell me what you do, Rick.' I said, 'I'm the head football coach here.' He said, 'You're giving us the tour?' I said, 'Absolutely, this is my school. This is where I went. I want to give you a feel of what it's like to be a student.' ...

"When you're weighing the assets of what a youngster can do for your program, there's no question (being Diddy's son) had something to do with it for me. Justin is a great kid. His problem was his size. He's not big enough (Combs is 5-foot-7 and has played almost exclusively on special teams) to be a dominant player. Could he be productive? Yes. The fact his father was an influential guy played into my decision to go ahead and offer him."

So Neuheisel wasted a scholarship on a kid who is never going to be a contributing position player, and has enough money to pay his own way through college a hundred times over, just so he could claim Diddy as part of the UCLA family. Any chance we can blackmail Oregon into hiring him?
