MMA fighter found naked inside church
MISSION VIEJO, Calif. (AP) — Mixed martial arts fighter and reality show host Jason “Mayhem” Miller was in jail on suspicion of burglary Monday night after deputies responding to reports of a break-in said they found him naked inside a Southern California church.
Miller was being held on $20,000 bail and was scheduled to appear in court today, Orange County jail records showed.
The pastor at Mission Hills Church in Mission Viejo called authorities when he found evidence of a break-in Monday morning, including books and CDs that were strewn about, white powder on the floors and missing boards from a previously broken window, sheriff’s spokesman Jim Amormino said.
Deputies arrived and said they found Miller naked on a couch.
“When they asked him his name he responded, ‘Mayhem,’ ” Amormino said.
They also found evidence that Miller had set off fire extinguishers inside the church, Amormino said. Miller cooperated with authorities as he was arrested.
Miller, a popular professional middleweight in the mixed martial arts world, has fought for several organizations including UFC, but has lost three of eight fights.
He also hosted the MTV show “Bully Beatdown.”
Man stole pot, said it ‘smelled so good’
CHARLEROI, Pa. (AP) — A western Pennsylvania man is accused of stealing a small bag of marijuana held as evidence because he allegedly couldn’t resist the drug’s aroma.
Authorities say David Allan Thompson, 27, of Charleroi stopped at a police station Saturday night to offer unspecified information.
Thompson apparently stole the drugs while an officer was logging them into evidence after police had seized them that night. Police confronted Thompson outside the station. They say handed over the drugs and confessed, saying, “I just couldn’t help myself. That bud smelled so good.”
Thompson faces a preliminary hearing Aug. 23.
