Jason Miller news reveals "Mayhem's" live-tweet broadcast of a standoff he engaged with members of the Orange County Sheriff's Department SWAT team. Eventually, the incident ended with the former UFC fighter surrendering and being arrested.
In a report by MMA Fighting, the confrontation began when law enforcement officials attempted to serve "Mayhem's" warrant of arrest for alleged stalking. Unfortunately, things got out of hand when the former UFC fighter chose to lock himself in his Orange County home.
Jason Miller news reveals that the incident happened around 10:30 am on Thursday morning.
Instead of immediately surrendering himself, "Mayhem" instead chose to do a live-tweet broadcast of the entire fracas that was occurring right outside his house.
"i need to tell everyone about the absolute waste of resources going on outside of my house right now," one tweet reads. "i am counting no less than 5 officers."
"They have threatened me with a dog bite and are amassing a great force that includes a spotter in the neighbors yard and an uncharasmaticman ..who continues to remind me that they are here serving a warrant for my arrest. I have not committed any crime, but yet i am forced HERE," another tweet reads.
Jason Miller news also reveals that the former MTV host was already involved in a number of cases since 2012, including burglary charges, and a domestic violence case in 2013.
Lt. Jeff Hallock explained their side of the story in an interview with KTLA.
"[Miller] retreated into the house, was uncooperative with any of the commands by sheriff's deputies, and based on that, we established a perimeter, called out the SWAT team and now we're in the process of establishing communication with him inside the house," Hallock said.
In another report by the Los Angeles Times, one of the fighter's teammates Ayat Shafizadeh was dumbfounded by what happened.
"He's a real caring, good guy," Shafizadeh said. "I don't understand all of this."
