A former Syracuse basketball player was arrested on two felony charges at a Miami airport Monday. He is accused of working as rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs' alleged “drug mule.”
Brendan Paul, as he is listed on Syracuse's roster, was a walk-on guard for the program from 2018-'20. The 25-year-old was booked for cocaine and controlled substance possession and released Tuesday after posting a $2,500 bail, per Miami-Dade County court records accessed by Yahoo Sports.
The records spell Paul's first name as "Brandon" but the mug shot, matches his roster photo. He was apprehended at Opa Locka Airport before he could board Diddy's private jet. In addition to the cocaine, "suspected marijuana edibles" were reportedly found in Paul's luggage.
