MMA FIGHTER Mayhem Miller has tweeted a play-by-play account as he barricaded himself inside his home with a SWAT team outside his front door.
Miller, whose real first name is Jason, was involved in a dramatic stand-off with police as they attempted to serve an arrest warrant for domestic violence and stalking.
It was unclear why Miller locked himself indoors for a number of hours as the SWAT team, a bomb squad and crisis negotiators assembled at his Mission Viejo, California, home.
“He 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,” Orange County lieutenant Jeff Hallock told KTLA.
Miller, who has had a number of run-ins with police, provided his 226,000 followers with play-by-play updates.
The Sheriff’s Department eventually blew his front door open, according to KTLA.
Miller surrendered at the rear of the home and was taken into custody on the arrest warrant, as well as obstructing and delaying a peace officer.
The fighter was being held on $200,000 bail and was expected to appear in court on October 14.
