State police say five people including the rapper Jim Jones were arrested in a brawl at a hotel at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Connecticut.

Police say the fight broke out after 2 a.m. Saturday in the foyer of the MGM Grand Hotel following a party hosted by Sean "Diddy" Combs.

State police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance said one detective was treated for minor injuries at a hospital and released.

Jones was charged with resisting arrest and breach and peace and was released on bond. The 35-year-old hip-hop artist and actor from New York said on Twitter that he posted $40,000 in bond.

An attorney who has represented Jones in the past did not immediately respond to a message Saturday seeking comment.
