Venator FC president defends Mayhem Miller signing, DUI arrest in bizarre press release

Jason Miller's latest run-in with the law could've resulted in his removal from a fight with Luke Barnatt this May, but Italian-based Venator FC isn't having any of that. The promotion's president released an official statement for the ages.

In unfortunately unsurprising news, Jason Miller was recently arrested again, this time on suspicion of DUI. The former Strikeforce and UFC fighter was booked and released on February 7th, with a scheduled court appearance on March 7th, according to public court records in Orange County, CA. According to TMZ, due to his well-documented history of police confrontation (most notably a live-tweeting of his SWAT standoff), a K-9 unit and approximately 15 cops were dispatched to the scene.
