Diddy’s Son Justin Combs Arrested For Driving Under The Influence After Running Red Light

Eldest son of the famous media mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, Justin Combs, found himself in hot water on Sunday when he was arrested for driving under the influence. The 29-year-old was taken into custody by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department after he was caught running a red light near Beverly Hills. 

The incident took place early in the morning, shortly after 9 a.m. Records indicate that Justin was booked approximately two hours later after officers approached him during a traffic stop and determined he was driving under the influence. This news was confirmed by an official spokesperson from the Los Angeles Police Department.

The initial report of the arrest came from TMZ, which also published photos of Justin engaged in conversation with an officer. It seems the authorities wasted no time in addressing the situation. While authorities say that there was enough probable cause to suspect him of driving under the influence, details of the exact sobriety tests the young man was put through are not known. 

According to records found online, Justin was released at 12:30 p.m. after posting bail of $5,000. Interestingly, he was released on his own recognizance, which means he promised to appear in court as required.

Justin is Sean “Diddy” Combs’ first biological child with stylist and fashion designer Misa Hylton. The well-known rapper, who gained fame with his hit song I’ll Be Missing You, has a large and loving family. In addition to Justin, he is the father of sons Quincy and Christian, as well as daughters D’Lila, Jessie, Chance, and Love, who is just eight months old.

Justin is not just known for his family connections; he has made a name for himself as well as an actor, producer, and even an entrepreneur. He earned a football scholarship to attend UCLA, where he pursued a degree in sociology and successfully graduated in 2016. He even made an appearance alongside his father on MTV’s popular show My Super Sweet Sixteen back in 2010. Recently, the 29-year-old had a role on the Starz series Power Book II: Ghost, showcasing his talent and versatility.

Despite his family background and his status in the public eye, Justin now appears to face the charges brought against him and will have to navigate the legal process just like anyone else.
