The alleged dispute, which occurred just after 12:30 p.m on Monday, was at the result of an earlier incident where Assistant Coach Sal Alosi removed Diddy's son, Justin Combs, from the team's practice session. Justin had reportedly missed a number of recent workouts and was lacking in performance during Monday morning's practice, prompting his removal.

The whole thing went bad when Diddy showed up a little later and decided to confront Alosi. The two got into a heated argument where Diddy allegedly assaulted Alosi with a kettlebell, which is a ball-shaped, cast-iron training weight.
The whole incident ended with the UCPD being called to the scene, where Diddy was arrested and taken out in handcuffs.
UCLA Football coach Jim Mora issued the following statement:
This isn't Alosi's first incident involving a football team. Back in 2010, while acting as the assistant coach for the New York Jets, Alosi was suspened and fined $25,000 after he tripped and injured a member of the game's opposing team.
After the tripping scandal, General manager Mike Tannenbaum also added that Alosi would not be allowed to interact with any players or coaches "as it pertains to his job function."
In the end, no one was seriously injured, but Diddy is in store for some serious court appearances. His next court date has been set for July 13.
