UPDATE: This afternoon Nathalie Moar, a rep for Combs Enterprises said, "The various accounts of the event and charges that are being reported are wholly inaccurate. What we can say now is that any actions taken by Mr. Combs were solely defensive in nature to protect himself and his son."

In a turn of events that sounds more fiction than fact, famed rapper and music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs was arrested Monday evening after a physical altercation with a strength and conditioning coordinator at UCLA. Combs son, Justin Combs, is a redshirt junior who plays defensive back on the UCLA football team.

Blanche Johnson of Fox News reported on the altercation earlier today, giving details of Combs's arrest and the ensuing charges:

Jail records showed that Combs was released after posting bail. The records showed that Combs' bail was $160,000, but sheriff's officials reached by phone said he posted $50,000. The reason for the discrepancy wasn't clear.

A rep from UCLA confirmed to Fox News that Combs, 45, was arrested on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, which was a kettlebell. Later Monday, Los Angeles police updated the charges to three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, one count of making terrorist threats and one count of battery.

No one was seriously injured and campus police said they were investigating the incident.

On the other end of the altercation was none other than Sal Alosi, the strength and conditioning coach famous for tripping Miami Dolphin's player Nolan Caroll during a December 2010 regular season game while Alosi was working with the New York Jets.

Monday's disagreement came as a result of Combs's displeasure with Alosi's coaching methods:

According to TMZ, which first reported the arrest, UCLA strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi was screaming at Justin as Combs watched from the sidelines. Combs allegedly confronted the coach in his office and was then arrested for assault.

In 2008, before Alosi's tripping incident, Jim Wendler interviewed Alosi for elitefts.com in multiple segments, discussing strength training and the industry of strength and conditioning.

As for Combs, this is not his first questionable bit of publicity in recent years:

The arrest is the latest in a series of allegations against Combs. He was acquitted of bribery and weapons-related charges in connection with a 1999 shooting at a New York nightclub. A jury cleared Combs of firing a weapon during the dispute that wounded three bystanders, as well as bribing his chauffeur to take the rap.

Combs was arrested in 1999 for his involvement in the beating of former Interscope executive Steve Stoute in New York. Combs apologized, the charges were reduced, and he was ordered to attend an anger management class.

No one from Combs Enterprises has yet spoken of the incident.
