Quick Glance: Firearms Discovered at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' L.A. and Miami Properties, Sources Say
- During searches of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' properties in Los Angeles and Miami, federal agents found firearms, as confirmed by three informed sources on Tuesday. Homeland Security Investigations executed search warrants from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday and confiscated the music mogul's phones in Miami before his planned trip to the Bahamas. According to a source familiar with the matter, Combs is under a federal criminal investigation due to multiple lawsuits filed against him in recent months.
- Reportedly, Combs has been involved in numerous civil lawsuits since November, following a lawsuit from his former romantic partner Cassie, who accused him of physical and sexual abuse over several years. Combs has denied each of the sexual assault allegations, calling them 'sickening.' In February, a former employee who worked for Combs from September 2022 to November 2023 filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, drugging, and threats.
- The cases are ongoing, and Combs has maintained his denial of the allegations. A man arrested on drug charges at a Miami airport on Monday is said to be an associate of Combs. Brendan Paul, 25, was arrested at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on suspicion of possessing suspected cocaine and suspected marijuana candy. Court records indicated that Paul was released on bond on Tuesday.

Quick Glance: Convicted Sex Offender Receives Lengthy Prison Term
- A man sentenced to 220 years in federal prison for producing child sexual abuse material and hacking the jumbotron at the Jacksonville Jaguars stadium after his dismissal due to being a registered sex offender.
- Samuel Arthur Thompson from St. Augustine received his sentence from a federal judge in Jacksonville. Convicted in November for various offenses, including producing and possessing sexual images of children, violating the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act, sending unauthorized damaging commands to a protected computer, and possessing a firearm as a convicted felon.
- Thompson, aged 53, was apprehended in early 2020 after repatriation from the Philippines to the U.S. He had fled to the Southeast Asian country six months earlier following an FBI search and computer seizure at his residence.
- The Jaguars enlisted Thompson as a contractor in 2013 for their video board network design and later for jumbotron operations on game days. Upon learning of his conviction as a sex offender, the team chose not to extend his contract.

Quick Glance: Sean 'Diddy' Combs Allegations: Timeline and Key Details
- Sean 'Diddy' Combs has a lengthy list of alleged legal troubles, including recent sexual assault accusations. Here's a history of some of Combs' latest legal issues.
- From November to February, five lawsuits were filed against Combs in New York accusing him of sexual assault, sexual trafficking, and engaging in other criminal activities. Despite his denials, federal agents recently conducted searches on Combs' properties, where guns were found, and his phones were seized.
- Allegations range from sexual assault and trafficking to accusing Combs of being involved in serious illegal activities. Some plaintiffs claim he intentionally drugged, sexually harassed, and coerced them into procuring sex workers.
- The searches of Combs' homes in Los Angeles and Miami by federal agents in March led to the seizure of firearms. Combs maintains his innocence, stating there have been no findings of criminal or civil liability and he will continue to fight to clear his name.
