Sheriff adds drama to routine traffic stop

A police officer reportedly pulled a gun on P. Diddy's entourage during a routine traffic stop in Los Angeles this past weekend.

The rap mogul, whose real name is Sean Combs, was reportedly headed down Sunset Boulevard early Saturday morning (August 23) as part of a seven-car convoy when a sheriff's deputy ordered one of the cars to stop for having expired registration tags.

One of the deputies became concerned and took out his gun when several men approached the vehicle, a sheriff's spokesman told the Associated Press. However, he reportedly cooled down quickly and put it back in its holster.

No citations were issued during the incident and a spokesman for P. Diddy said the officers were "respectful".
