After live tweeting a standoff with Orange County Sheriff and SWAT officers on Thursday, former Strikeforce and UFC middleweight Jason Miller is being held in Orange County Jail on $200,000 bail.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department provided an update on Friday, noting that “Mayhem’s” latest off the wall antics netted him four criminal charges.
At approximately 10:00 a.m. this morning, deputies attempted to serve the outstanding arrest warrant on Miller in the driveway of the residence located at 26262 Avenida Calidad. Miller fled on foot and retreated into the residence where he remained barricaded for approximately four hours … Immediately following the remote breach, Miller exited the residence through a rear door and surrendered to deputies by lying on the ground with his hands exposed. Miller was taken into custody uninjured during the incident.
Ultimately, the former Strikeforce title challenger was charged with an outstanding felony arrest warrant for domestic violence, stalking, violation of a court order and obstructing/delaying a peace officer.
FOX 11 Los Angeles managed to capture footage of Miller being arrested on Thursday.
Inactive inside the cage since a lopsided May 2012 TKO loss to Michael Bisping, the always eccentric Miller has had several run-ins with the law since his retirement from mixed martial arts.
Miller was charged with misdemeanor vandalism after breaking into an Orange County church, stripping naked and falling asleep on a couch 25 months ago, per the LA Times.
However, those charges were eventually dropped.
The Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt was also charged in two separate domestic-violence incidents in a two-week period in August 2013, per Bloody Elbow.
Miller is scheduled to make his first court appearance for the police standoff charges on Tuesday, October 14.
