Man Accused of Being Diddy's Drug Mule Takes Plea Deal

According to a statement obtained by XXL on Thursday (May 16) from Brendan Paul's attorney, Brian Bieber, Paul's case will be dismissed after completing a diversion program. Bieber said: "Brendan accepted the prosecutor’s offer to permit his entry into the diversion program which, after completion, the case against him will be dismissed in its entirety."

TMZ also reported this afternoon that the Miami-Dade State Attorney noted that the offer provided to Paul is standard to a non-violent defendant, with no priors offenses. Additionally, according to the news outlet, a rep confirmed that Paul's diversion program will last about six months.
