A warrant is currently out for Mayhem’s arrest citing three felony counts including alleged stalking. Police were called to the scene at 10:30AM Thursday morning. MMAFighting contacted Lt. Jeff Hallock who stated the following:
“At this point, we’re attempting to establish verbal communication through a cell phone. If that doesn’t work, we’re obviously prepared to communicate with him via social media if need be,” 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.”

I WISH YOU NO HARM. I respect the Police, but this is overkill, for something that would be settled with one piece of paperwork from OCBAIL
