DAILY NEWS: PUFFY WAS THROWING MONEY AT CLUB; LOPEZ SOBBED UNCONTROLLABLY
DURING 14 HOUR ORDEAL
The NEW YORK DAILY NEWS is offering fresh details of the Sean "Puffy"
Combs and Jennifer Lopez arrest in its Tuesday edition.
DAILY NEWSIE Corky Siemaszko reports that Combs, Lopez and their entourage
entered CLUB NEW YORK'S weekly 'Hot Chocolate' party just after midnight
-- and unlike the other 600 patrons, the Combs group did not undergo a
weapons search.
Witnesses at the club tell the DAILY NEWS that Combs "was bragging about
his wealth and tossing money around like confetti before shooting
erupted."
At around 2:20 AM, Combs began arguing with a man at the bar.
"I don't know exactly who (Combs) was beefing with, but some people just
didn't like the way he was rolling through the crowd trying to be Big
Willie," a witness told the paper.
"Security was trying to keep it under control, but Puffy's people started
getting louder and rowdier. Security was trying to push one of Puffy's
people out the door, but he broke free and started firing his gun."
That person was rapper Shyne who is on Combs BAD BOY label.
Injured -- but not seriously -- in the gunfire were a club bouncer and two
'Hot Chocolate' attendees.

Siemaszko also quotes police sources who detail Lopez's 14-hour ordeal at
the police squadroom after getting arrested in a getaway attempt.
The paper describes Lopez as having had her "hair pulled back and her
makeup smeared."
Says one source:
"She was crying all over the place... She was just upset about the whole
thing."
Said one cop:
"She's a beautiful woman, no doubt about it, but she looked kind of Plain
Jane-ish.[/quote]
