A 25-YEAR-OLD MAN accused in a recent lawsuit of being Sean Combs’ drug “mule” was arrested on Monday on cocaine and marijuana possession charges, according to arrest records obtained by Rolling Stone.
Brendan Paul was taken into custody by Miami-Dade police on Monday afternoon at Opa-Locka Airport around 4:30 p.m. Police were working alongside Homeland Security agents when the arrest was made, according to the arrest affidavit.
Around the same time, dozens of Homeland Security agents and local law enforcement officers descended upon Combs’ residences in Miami and Los Angeles as part of a federal sex trafficking investigation. Led by Homeland Security, the coordinated raids were the first indication of a criminal investigation against Combs after numerous civil lawsuits were filed against the Bad Boy Records executive. (It is not clear whether HSI’s search is related to any of the allegations raised in the civil lawsuits. A family member of Paul’s confirmed he was arrested. A rep for Combs did not immediately reply to a request for comment.)
