TMZ- Diddy was just arrested and taken into federal custody in New York Monday night … TMZ has learned.
Homeland Security swooped into a midtown hotel late Monday where Diddy was staying and they arrested him.
We have unconfirmed reports the feds are searching his hotel room.
We’re told Diddy was taken to the FBI Field Office in Manhattan.
As we reported, a grand jury has been hearing testimony from various accusers over the last few months.
A law enforcement source tells TMZ … the arrest was scheduled for Tuesday.
but something happened that caused the feds to move in a day earlier.
We’re talking a full-on FBI operation, with unconfirmed reports of his hotel room being searched.
This isn’t some random bust, either.
It’s directly tied to the ongoing criminal investigation into those alleged sex trafficking and other offenses.
Not to mention the alleged physical violence towards his exes.
And it’s not just Dawn.
We’ve got a whole parade of accusers stepping forward with disturbing allegations.
From sexual assault claims to alleged sex trafficking, the list keeps growing.
The judge, apparently unimpressed with Diddy’s no-show in court, granted the inmate a default judgment.
The whole thing is a sad spectacle.
It’s disheartening to see someone who’s achieved so much successallegedlyuse their power in such destructive ways.
Whether he’s ultimately found guilty or not, his reputation is already in tatters.
Bad boy for life indeed.
