Diddy‘s alleged mule, Brendan Paul, is off the hook in his felony drug case in Florida … because all the charges have been dropped, TMZ has confirmed.
State prosecutors officially dismissed the charges against Paul Tuesday because he completed a pretrial diversion program … according to his attorney, Brian Bieber.
Meanwhile, federal sources tell TMZ … Paul did NOT strike a deal with federal prosecutors in the Diddy case.
TMZ broke the story … Paul was hit with one felony count of drug possession following his March arrest at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport. Paul, who previously worked as Diddy’s main assistant, was booked after authorities allegedly found cocaine and marijuana candy in his bag during a search.
Paul’s arrest notably occurred around the same time the feds raided Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami … as part of a federal investigation into allegations of sex trafficking and more.
Diddy’s since been indicted and is sitting in a Brooklyn trial as he awaits trial in the federal case.
