As The Shade Room previously reported, the charges listed in the federal indictment against the 54-year-old were not revealed at the time of his arrest on September 16.

“USA Damian Williams: Earlier this evening, federal agents arrested Sean Combs, based on a sealed indictment filed by the SDNY,” WIlliams wrote. “We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and will have more to say at that time.”
