Retired Ultimate Fighting Championship and Strikeforce competitor Jason Miller
has run afoul of the law once again.
According to a Friday report from
TMZ, Miller has been arrested in Los Angeles for a charge of
felony domestic violence. Per the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s
Department, an arrest record on Sept. 10 confirms this report. The
40-year-old with a history of criminal activity following his
fighting career is being held on a bail amount of $1.385
million.
Arrested at 3 a.m. local time on Friday, he was taken by the Los
Angeles Police Department to the Van Nuys Jail for processing three
hours later. According to TMZ, a woman called 911 screaming for
help, and police found her at the scene with marks on her face and
neck. When police attempted to take “Mayhem” into custody, he
resisted and was ultimately tased and cuffed. He was briefly taken
to the hospital for the doctors to examine him before bringing him
to jail.
Less than a year ago, Miller was
charged with multiple felonies including first-degree burglary
and grand theft auto, in which he pleaded not guilty when brought
to trial. He was
previously taken in for a charge of felony vandalism, which
rose to that level when he caused a certain dollar amount of
damage. Other prior incidents include
breaking into a church nude causing damage, and a
guilty plea for domestic violence to a spouse or cohabitant
that put him on probation a few years ago.
As a fighter, Miller amassed a record of 23 wins with 10 defeats
and a no contest due to a cut in a career that stretched from 2001
to 2016. Although Miller retired after a pair of losses to Michael
Bisping and C.B.
Dollaway inside the Octagon, he returned four years later to
face Mattia
Schiavolin under the Venator FC banner. “Mayhem” missed weight
by nearly 25 pounds, and succumbed to a rear-naked choke in the
second frame to conclude his tenure in the sport.
