Drugs and weapons seized during Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs home search amid ongoing legal battle

Federal authorities recently seized drugs, weapons and electronic devices during a search of the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, where Sean “Diddy” Combs is being held on charges of sex trafficking conspiracy. The sweep, conducted by the Bureau of Prisons, was described as a routine operation intended to increase security and was not related to Combs’ detention. However, MDC has faced increased scrutiny following violent incidents, including two fatal stabbings over the summer, which led to multiple charges against inmates and a corrections officer.

Combs, who has been denied bail twice, is awaiting trial next year. His legal team is pushing for his release, citing poor prison conditions. A hearing is scheduled for Monday in the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Meanwhile, Combs’ defense team has requested early disclosure of evidence, including the accuser’s identity, which prosecutors say could jeopardize witness safety.

The high-profile MDC facility previously housed notable prisoners such as Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell and currently holds Sam Bankman-Fried. As Combs’ legal battle continues, a federal grand jury will hear new evidence against him next week.
