Former MMA star Jason "Mayhem" Miller was arrested early Friday for assault with a deadly weapon on a peace officer, the Orange County Sheriff's Department confirmed.
TMZ Sports notes police were called to the scene of a confrontation between Miller and two women. When they arrived, Miller allegedly attacked one of the officers by throwing a ceramic tile before being subdued with a taser and taken into custody.
Stephanie Marroquin and Corey Arvin of NBC Los Angeles report it's the second reported incident involving Miller and police in as many years. Last October, he was involved in a three-hour standoff with the SWAT team before he was taken into custody after being served multiple warrants.
No further information about the incident that led to Friday's police call was immediately released. The Los Angeles Times' LA Now provided Miller's mugshot:
Miller's last professional fight came at UFC 146 in 2012. He lost to C.B. Dollaway by unanimous decision. He hinted at a potential comeback to MMAInterview.tv (h/t MMA Fighting) by saying he was fielding offers for a fight in early 2014, but nothing developed.
He's also known for his work as the host of Bully Beatdown on MTV and played "Lucky" Patrick Murray in the 2012 film Here Comes the Boom.
TMZ Sports states he was booked and is currently being held on $50,000 bail.
