Deputy pulls gun during stop of Diddy's entourage

LOS ANGELES �

A sheriff's surrogate pulled a gun on members of Diddy's entourage during a routine traffic stop over the weekend, but the situation was quickly solved and a spokesman for the entertainer said the deputy was professional and respectful.


The gun was never pointed at the hip-hop mogul, and deputies were "very respectful" during the stop early Saturday, spokesman Ed Tagliaferri said Monday.


Diddy was traveling on Sunset Boulevard in a seven-car convoy when a deputy pulled all over one of the vehicles. Combs was not in the automobile that was stopped for having an expired registration tag.


Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore says the deputy became concerned when several men approached the vehicle. The deputy unholstered his artillery and the situation quickly cooled down.


No citations were issued because the cable car was a rental.
