Former UFC fighter Jason “Mayhem” Miller was reportedly arrested Sunday morning in Costa Mesa, California, on charges of assault and battery, public intoxication and suspicion of assaulting a police officer, according to the Orange County Register‘s Chris Haire.
The 35-year-old allegedly spit on an officer after he was detained following an argument with two women, “one of whom he grabbed and tried to punch before security ‘took him down and handcuffed him,'” Costa Mesa Police Department Sgt. Dan Miles said, per Haire.
“While being detained, he spit on one of the officers, which is disgusting,” Miles added.
Miller is no stranger to trouble with the law, as evidenced by his repeated run-ins with police over the past few years.
In 2012, the former UFC star was arrested in Orange County after he allegedly broke into a church and sprayed a fire extinguisher, according to TMZ Sports. A year later, Miller was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, per the Orange County Register‘s Douglas Morino and Sarah de Crescenzo.
In March, Miller was arrested once again for allegedly vandalizing a tattoo shop. According to the Los Angeles Times‘ Veronica Rocha, Miller “threw a ceramic tile at deputies and threatened them with a fire extinguisher and metal pole during an eight-minute struggle.”
He was subsequently held on $1 million bail.
According to TMZ Sports, Miller’s confrontation with police in March came one month after he was arrested for driving under the influence.
