Miami-Dade Case: Alleged Drug ‘Mule’ Connected to Diddy Pleads Not Guilty to Possession Charge

DEBARYLIFE – On Wednesday, a Miami-Dade County courtroom saw the formal arraignment of an associate of “Sean Diddy” Combs, who is accused of acting as a “mule” for the music mogul’s guns and drugs.

Records show that the state attorneys for Miami-Dade County officially charged 25-year-old Brendan Paul with possessing cocaine, but they opted not to pursue a case for possession of a restricted narcotic.

Even though Paul wasn’t there in person, his lawyer Brian Bieber pled not guilty on his behalf.

Miami-Dade Police said in an arrest affidavit that Paul was detained on March 25 after being taken into custody at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport for possessing candy laced with marijuana and cocaine.

After bonding out of jail on March 26, Paul, a Syracuse University basketball player in 2019, was released from custody.

On March 25, when Homeland Security agents raided the mogul’s properties in Miami Beach and Los Angeles, Diddy was seen pacing around at the same airport, according to TMZ video.

NBC was informed by at least five law enforcement sources that the raids are related to a current investigation into sex trafficking.

Combs’s legal representative termed the raids an “unprecedented ambush” and declared that the mogul “is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”

“When search warrants for Mr. Combs’ homes were being carried out, there was a flagrant abuse of military-grade force.

The disproportionate use of force and hostility by the police, as well as the treatment of Aaron Dyer’s children and staff, are unacceptable, according to parts of his statement.
