    Just a few days before he was arrested for felony domestic violence in September, Jason Miller allegedly was involved in a bar fight.

    While Miller wasn’t arrested in the alleged incident after police arrived and the situation already had been diffused and the parties declined to press charges. But a man reportedly wound up with broken ribs – and now Miller has been charged with two felonies for assault and battery, according to a report from TMZ.

    It’s just the latest bit of trouble for “Mayhem” Miller, a former UFC and Strikeforce fighter whose rap sheet is littered with incidents after his fighting career ended.

    According to TMZ, Miller broke a man’s ribs in the fight. And while the alleged victim initially didn’t file a police report, he relented after his hospital visit. So police charged Miller with felony assault and felony battery.

    what's the old saying? "If you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life?" I'm never surprised when career and personal life habits cross over..sometimes not in a good way

    This is going on ten years of arrests now.

    In August 2011, Miller was arrested in Chatham County, North Carolina and was charged with simple assault and false imprisonment after allegedly assaulting his sister at a house party.[25]

    In August 2012, Miller was arrested for trespassing after allegedly being found sleeping naked in a church. The charge was later dropped.[26]

    Miller was arrested on charges of domestic battery on August 11, 2013, and was released on bail the following day.[27]

    On August 22, 2013, Miller was once again arrested for domestic battery.[28] In court on August 26, the two charges were combined into one case with two felony counts of "corporal injury of spouse." Miller pleaded not guilty and his bail was reset at $100,000.[29]

    On October 9, 2013, Miller was taken into custody, and was booked in the early hours of October 10 for a misdemeanor contempt of court charge for violating a no-contact restraining order by sending a Snapchat message.[30]

    Miller was arrested on a felony domestic violence warrant on October 9, 2014, after a five-hour-long standoff with a SWAT team outside his Orange County, California home. Miller gave live updates over the five hours via Twitter.[31]

    On March 7, 2015, Miller was arrested outside of a bar in Laguna Beach, California, and was charged with simple misdemeanor battery and resisting arrest. Video footage from a bystander showed Miller outside the bar, shouting expletives and fighting with police officers.[32]

    On October 16, 2015, Miller was arrested again after allegedly assaulting police officers.[33]

    On February 7, 2016, Miller was arrested in Irvine, California and was charged with DUI.[34]

    In March 2016, Miller was arrested in Mission Viejo, California, after an arrest warrant for Miller was served. He was charged with burglary and vandalism after allegedly breaking into and vandalizing a Lake Forest, California tattoo shop with graffiti two months prior.[35]

    On July 11, 2016, Miller was arrested by Costa Mesa, California police for injuring a security guard and spitting on a police officer at the Saddle Ranch Chop House restaurant. No charges were filed.[36]

    In November 2017, Miller was convicted of felony domestic battery after pleading guilty. He was sentenced to serve three years' probation with a suspended four-year prison sentence, meaning a probation violation could see Miller face up to four years in a California state prison.[37]

    On October 23, 2018, Miller was again arrested on charges of felony vandalism in Orange County after allegedly destroying property at his girlfriend's La Habra, California home. The girlfriend alleges that during an argument, Miller became angry and he smashed a large marble table, punched holes in the walls, tore down doors in the home, and derailed the home's garage door. He was arrested and held without bail in the Orange County detention center and later pleaded not guilty. The felony vandalism charge itself carried a maximum penalty of eight months in jail, but between this particular incident, prior convictions, and a probation violation, Miller faced up to 23 years in a California state prison.[38][39] On July 19, 2019, it was reported that Miller had accepted a plea deal in the felony vandalism case, and he was sentenced to serve one year in jail with time served being credited.[40] He was released from jail in September 2019.[41]

    On August 26, 2020, it was revealed that Miller was arrested on August 21 in California once again and was charged with first-degree burglary and grand theft auto, two felonies. He was booked into the Orange County jail on a no bond hold.[42][43] On May 11, 2021, Miller accepted a plea deal in which he pleaded guilty to the vandalism charge and had the grand theft auto charge thrown out. Miller was sentenced to serve 364 days in jail and two years of probation upon release.[44][45]

    On September 10, 2021, Miller was arrested on felony domestic violence charges in Los Angeles, California. According to the arrest affidavit, police were called to Miller's girlfriend's residence in Sherman Oaks in the early hours of September 10 after Miller allegedly physically assaulted her following a verbal argument. Police arrived on scene while Miller locked himself in the bathroom. Police officers noticed visible marks on the girlfriend's face and neck, consistent with someone who had been assaulted. Miller was eventually arrested on scene and brought to the Los Angeles County Men's Jail, where he was charged with felony domestic battery as well as resisting arrest. Bail was initially set at $1.385 million, but was later reduced to $150,000. He remains in custody and is due in court on October 25.[46][47]
