Diddy placed on routine suicide watch in New York jail: source [Video]

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been placed on routine suicide watch as he awaits trial in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center, a source told Fox News Digital.

The source added that “this is common practice for high-profile individuals as they are admitted to a federal facility and not indicative of his mental state.”

Combs was arrested Monday in the lobby of a New York hotel, another source previously confirmed to Fox News Digital. He was charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution in an indictment unsealed Tuesday.WATCH ON FOX NATION: WHAT DIDDY DO?
