Script LEAD: ENTERTAINMENT MOGUL SEAN "PUFFY" COMBS MAINTAINS HIS INNOCENCE AFTER BEING CHARGED WITH ILLEGAL POSSESSION OF A WEAPON. COMBS, WHO IS NOW OUT ON TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS BAIL, AND HIS GIRLFRIEND, ACTRESS AND SINGER JENNIFER LOPEZ, WERE ARRESTED AFTER FLEEING A SHOOTING THAT LEFT THREE PEOPLE WOUNDED INSIDE A DANCE CLUB EARLY MONDAY MORNING. POLICE SAY THEY FOUND A STOLEN PISTOL IN COMBS' S U V. COMBS WAS ARRAIGNED BUT SAYS THE SECOND AND THIRD DEGREE WEAPONS POSSESSION CHARGES AGAINST HIM WON'T STICK. LOPEZ WAS NEVER CHARGED, AFTER SPENDING MUCH OF THE DAY ANSWERING POLICE QUESTIONS. COMBS'S LAWYER BLAMED THE MEDIA FOR TWISTING THE INCIDENT ON INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE. SCRIPT: (SOTS) SOT (COMBS) NOT VERBATIM "wants to make it one hundred percent clear, I had nothing to do with that shooting, I feel sorry for the people who were injured" SOT (SLOVIS) NOT VERBATIM "reason why Lopez was released and charges dropped, she was in the front seat of the car, he (puff) had nothing to do with this, it is very frustrating that where ever he goes, he is blamed for it"
