Diddy Placed on Routine Suicide Watch at Metropolitan Detention Center

Diddy was placed on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Detention Center in NYC … but he’s not suicidal, at least according to his lawyer.

Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, tells TMZ … the suicide watch directive issued by MDC officials was merely a routine measure for “new, high-profile inmates.”

Agnifilo noted he spent 6 hours Thursday with Diddy at the federal lockup and the music mogul turned criminal defendant was “not at all suicidal.” In fact, Agnifilo says, Diddy was “strong, healthy, confident and focused on his defense.”

As you know, Diddy was arrested Monday night in Manhattan after a federal grand jury indicted him on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.
