Authorities arrested Diddy on alleged sex trafficking and racketeering charges in New York City, earlier this week. He’s already pleaded not guilty to the charges but was unable to get out on bail as the state expressed concerns that he might contact witnesses. He currently resides at the infamous Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn while awaiting trial. At the jail, authorities have placed him on suicide watch, according to TMZ, but his attorney, Marc Agnifilo, says it’s merely a routine measure for “new, high-profile inmates.”
