Video: More details emerge in arrest of UFC veteran Chris Leben, including hidden assault rifle

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight Chris Leben was arrested earlier this month in San Diego, Calif., where he was charged with 11 counts of violating a court order, two counts of criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor charge for vandalism, and felony possession of an assault weapon.

The arrest came nearly a month after Leben was accused of trying to enter his ex-wife's apartment, not long after he allegedly sent her a text message promising to murder her father. After police arrived on the scene, a loaded handgun was discovered on the premises -- separate from the M16 assault rifle discovered in a nearby maintenance closet.
