On Sunday morning, Justin Dior Combs was apprehended by the Los Angeles Police Department on suspicion of driving under the influence. Combs, aged 29, was booked for a misdemeanor according to online inmate records reviewed by USA TODAY, and was discharged from custody on his own recognizance after noon, conditioned upon appearing in court when summoned.
The stop was conducted in Beverly Hills and police officers observed signs that the driver might be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Following an investigation, the officers determined that Justin had, in fact, been intoxicated. In addition, the LAPD noted to Entertainment Tonight that he had gone through a red light before the traffic stop and subsequently failed a sobriety test.
Justin’s mother Hylton seemingly reacted to the arrest on Instagram Sunday in a series of now-deleted posts on her story. “I’m not protecting no one anymore, just my son. And ALL the children,” the celebrity stylist and designer wrote. “The statement ‘a fish rots from the head down’ means that, in addition to being a major contributing factor in a family or organization’s success, leadership is also the root cause of its failure and demise. The Truth shall set you free.”
