In this instance, the "deadly weapon" in question is a Kettlebell. I know, and you thought "soccer mawms" had a bad rep for their pitch side behaviour. 

The 45-year-old rapper / music mogul was arrested yesterday afternoon at UCLA's athletic facilities for allegedly attacked a football coach. While no official details have been released as yet regarding what led up to the incident, one can assume it was football related given Diddy's son is on the football team... 

According to AP News Archive, "Combs' son Justin Combs is a redshirt junior defensive back on the UCLA football team, which has been working out on campus. He has played in just a handful of games in his three years with the team."

Jim Mora, a coach on campus, had this to say via campus poilice: "This is an unfortunate incident for all parties involvedWhile UCPD continues to review this matter, we will let the legal process run its course and refrain from further comment at this time."

TMZ (who broke the story) claim the following happened: "4:15 PM PT - Our UCLA sources tell us Diddy confronted Strength and Conditioning Coach Sal Alosi while Alosi was on the phone. We're told Diddy was told to 'hang on' but he wasn't having it and picked up a kettlebell and swung it, narrowly missing Alosi. One source said if Diddy had connected, it could have killed Alosi."

Diddy, meanwhile, has a different version of events. A source apparently close to him told TMZ: "Diddy went to the campus today to speak with Alosi - believing he has an "issue" with Justin... Diddy went to Alosi's office instead where Alosi told him to get out and threatened to call security if he didn't leave. We're told Diddy said, "Fine, I'll call police" ... and Alosi snapped - going after Diddy with his hands. We're told Diddy insists he grabbed a kettlebell and held it up in a defensive position ... but did not attack with an intent to injure the coach. "

Diddy has since reportedly been released on bail, which was somewhere in the region between $160k and $50k, according to reports. 

In other interesting news, Snoop Dogg's son, Cordell Broadas, also plays for the Bruins. He is a "wide receiver who signed with the team this year."

Obviously, despite the seriousness of the crime, Twitter has been delivering the lols.
