UPDATE: Jason Miller surrendered to representatives of the Orange Country Sheriff's Department at approximately 2:10 p.m. PT following a "remote front door breach" by officers. He remains in police custody.
Original story: Mixed martial arts fighter Jason "Mayhem" Miller continues to live-tweet an apparent standoff with members of the Orange County Sheriff's Department at his California home on Thursday.
Law enforcement officials attempted to serve Miller a bench warrant for his arrest "for alleged stalking at the home when the situation escalated into a SWAT call," Lt. Jeff Hallock told KTLA.
MMAFighting.com subsequently confirmed with Hallock that Miller remains "barricaded" inside the home at the time of this writing.
A warrant is currently out for Miller's arrest on three felony counts, including the aforementioned charge for alleged stalking, with Miller to be held on $200,000 bail. Hallock stated that police were called to the scene at approximately 10:30 a.m. on Thursday morning.
"[Miller] 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," Hallock said on a live KTLA news broadcast.
"Our goal is to bring this to a peaceful resolution as soon as possible. But not knowing exactly what's going on inside, we're going to proceed with caution."
Miller (28-9, 1 NC), a 33-year-old retired UFC veteran, published a slew of ominous tweets throughout the afternoon, alluding to the apparent standoff taking place outside his residence.
Miller has twice run into trouble with law enforcement in recent years. In 2012, the fighter was arrested on burglary charges after allegedly breaking into and vandalizing a church. Those charges were later dropped, although one year later Miller was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence.
