After leaving a party thrown by Diddy last night (Feb. 24) at a Connecticut casino, rapper Jim Jones was mixed up in a brawl that got him maced and placed under arrest, TMZ.com reports.

Connecticut State Police spokesman J. Paul Vance has confirmed at least part of the story, telling the Associated Press that the 35-year-old MC was picked up at the Foxwoods Resort Casino and charged with assault on a police officer and breach of peace. He posted bond and was subsequently released.

While neither Jones nor the hotel have commented, a source tells TMZ that the trouble began as the Harlem rhymer was walking through the casino following Diddy's soiree at the MGM Grand.
