abc — A former Las Vegas Metropolitan police officer is being named in a new sexual-assault lawsuit involving Sean "P-Diddy" Combs.
John Pelletier worked for Metro for more than two decades and is now the chief of the Maui Police Department in Hawaii.
Pelletier is one of several defendants named in the lawsuit filed last Friday in California. The Maui mayor has called on the police chief to be put on leave and, as of Tuesday, he has not stepped down.

2021: Lahaina Fire & Missing Children (Maui)

The Lahaina fire happens under his watch—exits are BLOCKED, police prevent evacuations, and hundreds of children go missing… yet he goes silent.

lol if you post this on /politics they will lose their minds but also delete it because of who he is connected to… things are starting to fall apart.
One of them I think the chief out there on Hawaii was also the chief of Vegas during the shooting as well.
Whoo damn, this is a good one.

2025: Diddy, Rape Cover-Up, & Kidnapping Allegations
A new lawsuit just dropped, accusing Pelletier of:
— Posing as a sheriff in 2018 to cover up a gang rape tied to Diddy
— Giving an envelope (suspected hush money) to a neighbor
— Kidnapping and detaining victims at gunpoint
— Blocking them from legal help
Why does this man keep showing up in massive, controversial events—only for the truth to get buried every time?
He was also the police chief in Vegas when the shooting took place at the Aldean concert
