To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Since his arrest, Diddy has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
