In one of the more bizarre things I’ve seen in recent memory, former UFC fighter Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller live tweeted a standoff he had with the local police department and SWAT team at his home in Mission Viejo, California.
Former UFC fighter Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller is currently locked in a standoff with local police and SWAT officers at his home in Mission Viejo, California after being served with multiple warrants on Thursday.
Miller took to his Twitter as soon as the incident started launching into a tirade about ‘the absolutely waste of resources’ going on outside of his house as police arrived to issue the arrest warrant.
According to the Orange County warrant database, Miller is being sought for three separate felony charges including injure spouse, criminal contempt and stalking with an expected bail to be set at $200,000.
Lieutenant Jeff Hallock of the Orange County Sheriff’s department also confirmed to KTLA that the warrants were being served to Miller and he was the person currently barricaded in his home in the standoff with police.

they also have allocated use of a chopper, which cost approx. 12 Grand an Hour to operate, along with taking time away from REAL emergencies
