Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller, the former MMA fighter, pleads guilty to vandalism

Former mixed-martial-arts fighter Jason “Mayhem” Miller pleaded guilty this week and was sentenced to a year in jail for smashing a large marble table at his onetime girlfriend’s La Habra residence and violating a protective order to stay away from her, according to court records.

Miller, 38, pleaded guilty Thursday to a felony count of vandalism and a misdemeanor count of violating a protective stay-away order. Miller has been in custody since his arrest Oct. 19 for smashing the table and punching holes in and removing doors from the home and derailing the garage door, according to prosecutors.

Miller was arrested again on Jan. 11, 2018, when found with a bulletproof vest and various other weapons such as nun chucks, various knives, a machete, an axe, a samurai sword and replica assault weapons, according to a probation officer’s report.

When Miller resolved a litany of legal troubles in 2017, prosecutors said he could face up to 21 years in prison if he ran afoul of the law again.

“I’m going to fly right,” Miller told reporters then.

In one conflict, with Orange County sheriff’s deputies, he was “live-tweeting” the encounter as they tried to serve him with an arrest warrant at his Mission Viejo home in October 2014.

He had been an analyst with Fox Sports.
