The former MMA fighter Jason "Mayhem" Miller spent a night in jail after being arrested in Mission Viejo Sunday morning following accusations of domestic violence, Orange County Sheriff's Lt. Jeff Hallock said.

Miller, 32, left jail Monday on $50,000 bail. The incident reportedly stemmed from a text received on a cell phone.

Miller was jailed last August after he was found nude on the couch of a Mission Viejo Church with an exhausted fire extinguisher nearby. Burglary charges relating to the incident were dismissed in November.

Miller—who specialized in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling and kickboxing—was active from 1997 to 2012 and hosted a reality show on MTV called "Bully Beatdown"
