Crime & Arrests

A star-studded gated neighborhood where A-listers like Angelina Jolie and Kristen Bell have homes received an unexpected visitor Sunday ... and, cops arrested him.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... officers arrested an alleged trespasser today in Los Feliz -- a neighborhood in L.A. east of Hollywood.

We're told the individual slipped through the gate and onto the street behind it where Dax Shepard and Bell share a residence. However, our sources say the two stars weren't home at the time.

Diddy was feeling the love when he had to go back to prison after a jury acquitted him on three of his five federal charges ... 'cause the cell block gave him a round of applause, his lawyer swears.

Marc Agnifilo spoke with the Associated Press this weekend ... and, he told the outlet Diddy got a hero's welcome back at the federal prison where he's in custody.

Agnifilo claims the inmates "all said: ‘We never get to see anyone who beats the government" -- but, Diddy landed a win in his case ... and, it seems his fellow inmates reveled in it with him.

KaVontae Turpin -- a three-year NFL veteran -- was arrested this weekend for marijuana possession and unlawful carrying of a weapon.

The Dallas Cowboys wide receiver was booked into the Collin County jail Saturday after he was arrested for the two misdemeanors in Allen, Texas.

He was released on Sunday. We've reached out to law enforcement for more information.

Clayton Howard -- the former escort who is suing both Cassie and Diddy for  allegedly drugging, manipulating and traumatizing him -- tells TMZ he believes Cassie reveled in Diddy's power when it came to getting what she wanted.

Take a listen to our interview with Clayton -- who was identified as "Dave" during the music mogul's sex trafficking and racketeering trial. He says there is a "different side" to Cassie that "embraced" Diddy's power to manipulate him into their exotic sexual encounters.

This is why Clayton says he continued seeing Diddy and Cassie for nearly a decade. He says he was nervous the "Last Night" hitmaker could easily use his deep connections to retaliate against him ... plus, he needed the cash.

An alternate juror in the Diddy case says all the evidence about baby oil didn't help the prosecution's case in the end, but he thinks the point was to paint the defendant as a hard-core criminal freak.

George -- he asked us not to use his last name -- was not in the jury deliberation room, but he was front and center for every second of the trial. He noted the defense mocked prosecutors over the baby oil evidence, with Marc Agnifilo sarcastically telling jurors their streets were safer after the feds spent all that time and money seizing 1,000 bottles of baby oil.

As for the freak-off videos, that may have backfired for prosecutors. George says everything he saw -- from Cassie and "Jane" rubbing baby oil over a sex worker to hardcore sex -- looked consensual.

Diddy's baby mama is back with her daughter, Love ... who seems to be doing a whole lot better after battling an illness that made her mom leave NYC just after the verdict was read earlier this week.

Dana Tran stepped out in Los Angeles on Thursday ... getting a workout in near the water wearing a tight black outfit -- and, her little girl joined her for her pre-sweat stretching.

Check out the clip ... Love wants to be just like mom -- trying to get her leg up on a stone wall to stretch her legs, copying Dana who's looking on like the proud mother she is.

Diddy's former personal chef says she is "traumatized" and "terrified" after he was acquitted of the most serious charges in his federal sex trafficking trial on Wednesday.

Jourdan Atkinson -- who alleges she was both a victim of and witness to Diddy's abuse over the years -- hopped on Instagram following the stunning verdict, noting ... "I do not feel safe. I am extremely traumatized. I do not know where to go from here."

In the video and accompanying caption, Jourdan alleges she was assaulted by the Bad Boy Records founder in 2008 at his New Jersey estate ... and learned he beat Cassie for the first time in 2009. She says she was intimidated into silence ... worrying both of their lives were on the line.

Outkast's Antwan "Big Boi" Patton lost a family member to senseless gun violence last month in Georgia -- and police have now made two arrests in the murder case.

Jabyrion Crumbley turned himself in to the authorities Wednesday after he fatally shot Big Boi's uncle, Remoin Patton, during a June 16 road rage incident in Atlanta, according to police.

Crumbley was booked into the Fulton County Jail for murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. He's being held without bail.

Lisa Bloom says the jury verdict in the Diddy sex trafficking trial is a gut punch she hasn't felt since O.J. Simpson was acquitted in his murder trial.

The famed attorney, who represents Diddy's sexual assault accuser Dawn Richard, tells TMZ ... this is one of the most disappointing verdicts for victims of sexual assault since The Juice got off.

Lisa cites the Cassie beating video and says it's hard to see a man caught on video beating and dragging his girlfriend, only to be convicted of relatively minor prostitution charges.

Judge Mathis is reacting to the verdict in the Diddy trial ... and he's calling for Diddy to be sentenced like anyone else would.

We got the Judge at Mountain Gate Golf Course on Wednesday and asked him about Diddy skating on the most serious charges in his racketeering and sex trafficking case.

Judge Mathis says he never thought the RICO charge made sense and the sex trafficking counts were questionable ... though he feels for Cassie and all the abuse she suffered.

A New Jersey man was met with a swift dose of karma to the face on his recent Florida-bound Frontier Airlines flight after allegedly attacking another passenger ... for absolutely no reason.

Part of the wild altercation was caught on video ... and it shows 21-year-old Ishaan Sharma in a physical struggle with the passenger behind him as onlookers urge the men to cut it out. Once the travelers cool off ... Sharma packs up his belongings like nothing even happened!

But the shiner on his face tells another story -- just check out the booking photo TMZ obtained from the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office ... Sharma's left eye is swollen and bruised, and there are several lacerations on his neck and next to his eye.

An alternate juror on Diddy's case has spoken out -- and says he agrees with the surprising verdict confirmed Wednesday that acquitted the musician of the most serious charges the federal government leveraged against him.

The unnamed juror sat down with CNN Thursday ... and he says his 350 pages of "copious" notes led him to agree with the jury that Diddy did not commit any sex trafficking or racketeering crimes.

Remember ... he was only convicted of the 2 lesser charges of transporting prostitutes for sex.

Mark Geragos is going out on a limb and taking a stab at how long Diddy will spend behind bars for his recent conviction on prostitution charges ... and if he's right, Diddy will be a free man sooner rather than later.

Harvey Levin and Mark examined the next steps in the Diddy case Wednesday on the "2 Angry Men" podcast ... and the famed defense attorney explained why he thinks the judge will sentence Diddy to between 12 and 18 months behind bars.

Diddy's already spent almost 10 months in jail and he's still in custody pending sentencing ... and his time served will go towards his sentence.

The Diddy trial is mostly in the books after the jury acquitted him of the most serious charges -- racketeering and sex trafficking -- and prosecutors are coming out looking like huge losers.

Diddy learned his fate Wednesday when a jury of his peers reached a verdict in his criminal case ... and they only found him guilty on a pair of lesser charges ... two counts of the Mann Act -- transportation for prostitution across state lines.

The Bad Boy Records founder skated on the bigger charges and there's no way prosecutors would have brought this case if all they had on Diddy was a prostitution offense.

Idaho's Death Row is home to 9 prisoners convicted of murder ... and Bryan Kohberger might have been the 10th -- if he hadn't cut a plea deal with prosecutors in the face of overwhelming evidence against him.

And get this ... Kohberger would have been the worst of the worst in terms of body count compared with the other condemned inmates, but his life's been spared.

As everyone knows, Kohberger's heinous killing spree claimed the lives of 4 University of Idaho students who were found butchered inside an off-campus house in 2022. TMZ did a little digging and uncovered some interesting facts about Idaho's Death Row.

Diddy might be headed off to prison, but his image will recover given a little time ... so says prominent defense lawyer Jose Baez.

The lawyer who repped Casey Anthony and Aaron Hernandez joined us on "TMZ Live" Wednesday -- hours after Diddy was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and not guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Jose says Diddy's going to "bounce back" from this ... especially in the music industry, where he guesses artists will be willing to overlook his convictions if it means making a hit record.
