Jason Miller Gets Arrested For Breaking Into a Church

Former Strikeforce/UFC Middleweight and host of MTV’s “Bully Beatdown”, Jason “Mayhem” Miller was arrested yesterday after breaking into a church and spraying the entire place with a fire extinguisher in Mission Viejo, CA. TMZ first reported the story yesterday:

Ex-UFC fighter Jason “Mayhem” Miller was arrested today in Orange County, TMZ has learned — after allegedly breaking into a church, spraying a fire extinguisher all over the place, and getting buck naked.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, the O.C. Sheriff’s Office received a call early this morning from the Mission Hills Church in Mission Viejo about a possible burglary in progress.

When the deputies arrived, we’re told they found the first and second floors covered in white fire extinguisher spray. Cops say the place was also trashed — scattered CDs, books, and broken pictures.

When officers reached the 2nd floor, we’re told they found Miller naked on some couch — totally awake and coherent.

This wouldn’t be Miller’s first offense, back in 2005 he was arrested for first-degree burglary in Hawaii but was acquitted of the charges. Miller’s recent cage appearances were described as “embarrassing”(very true) by UFC President Dana White and was let go after a backstage incident that happened in his last fight.

I’m very sad to see one of my favorite fighters go down this road. The life away from UFC/MMA seemed to be a big part of Miller’s life. He’s gone on record on saying that he suffers from a “mental illness” and it seemed MMA might have been the prescription he needed. Mayhem at one point, I believe, was one of the most entertaining fighters in the MMA scene. His Sakuraba like mannerisms in the ring always added that entertainment aspect that was missing from MMA. For the sake of the man, I hope this serves as a wake up call.
