MISSION VIEJO, CA -- MMA fighter Jason "Mayhem" Miller has been taken into custody after a standoff at a Mission Viejo home.

Authorities say deputies were serving an arrest warrant at the home in the 26000 block of Avenida Calidad at about 10:30 a.m. Thursday. The warrant was for a domestic violence and stalking case.

When deputies tried to take Miller into custody, he refused to come out of his home. He then apparently began live-tweeting the situation, saying "I have not committed any crime, but yet I am forced here."

"I WISH YOU NO HARM. I respect the Police, but this is overkill, for something that would be settled with one piece of paperwork," he said in another tweet.
