Diddy's Accused 'Mule' Arrested on Drug Charges as Homeland Security Raids Mogul's LA and Miami Mansions

According to an arrest affidavit, the defendant had the contraband [suspect cocaine and suspect marijuana-laced candy] inside of his personal travel bags, which he claimed prior to being searched, per the complaint viewed by RadarOnline.com. "The suspect cocaine was located and tested." Paul was arrested at 4:30 PM.

It's unclear if his arrest was related to the raids that took place at Los Angeles and Miami residences associated with Diddy on Monday or a recent lawsuit in which Paul was named.

Following the raids on Monday, Homeland Security shared in a statement that agents from New York had "executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami and our local law enforcement partners."

Paul's name may sound familiar as he was referred to as Diddy's "drug mule" in an eight-figure lawsuit filed by Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones against the star, alleging the 25-year-old was involved in "acquir[ing] and distribut[ing] Mr Combs drugs and guns."

A source close to the situation said the man seen in a newly released mugshot was the same Paul named in Jones' complaint.

In the bombshell lawsuit, Jones accuses Combs of sexual assault and leading a "widespread and dangerous criminal sex trafficking organization" among other disturbing allegations.

"Mr. Jones agreed, and his life has been detrimentally impacted ever since," the lawsuit alleged, seeking damages. "Mr. Combs consistently made it clear that he has immense power in the music industry and with law enforcement."
