Puff in Handcuffs


Subject: Sean Combs

Charges: Combs (a.k.a. Puffy, Puff Daddy, P. Diddy) was busted by the NYPD in December 1999 and charged with possession of a firearm following a shooting at a Manhattan nightclub. Police pulled over Combs, who was fleeing with an entourage that included his then girlfriend, actress Jennifer Lopez, and found a gun under the front seat of his Lincoln Navigator.

The rapper-producer was also charged with bribery after his driver said he was given an offer of $50,000 and a diamond ring if he agreed to say he owned the gun found in the car. Combs was released after posting $10,000 bail.

Date: Mugshot taken on December 27, 1999

Verdict: In March 2001, Combs was acquitted of the weapon possession and bribery charges.
