UFC Hall of Famer Pat Miletich arrested for DUI weeks after pleading guilty to similar charge
UFC Hall of Famer Pat Miletich has been arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated – yet again.
Miletich was booked by Scott County (Iowa) police Monday at 9:57 a.m. local time on a charge of DWI (third offense), according to online jail records. No other details about Miletich's arrest have been made available at this time.
Miletich, 59, had pleaded guilty April 25 to a charge of DWI and was granted two years probation. As part of the agreement, Miletich also had to complete an anti-drunk driving education course. That charge stemmed from a Sept. 14, 2023 arrest during which police say they found an intoxicated Miletich passed out behind the wheel at a gas station with the car still in drive.
However, Miletich was also charged with a misdemeanor of driving while license denied or revoked stemming from an alleged incident March 6, 2025. Miletich pleaded not guilty April 16 and the legal proceedings for that charge are ongoing.

2 bills head to NC governor's desk to expand ICE operations
Two bills are hitting the North Carolina Governor's desk that would help ICE expand its deportation efforts in the state. They divided the legislature directly by party lines, and it's a perfect example of the issue that's currently dividing much of the country. As protestors in Los Angeles continue their demonstrations, legislators in North Carolina are cracking down on undocumented immigrants. House Bill 318 would expand the law that passed in November and would require sheriffs to notify Immigration and Customs Enforcement within two hours after an undocumented immigrant is scheduled to be released, and require they be held for 48 hours before doing so. It also expands the types of crimes that trigger the requirement to now include any felony, Class A1 misdemeanors against a child in the womb or involving sexual assault, and DWI offenses. Senate Bill 153 requires more state agencies to work with ICE, and it would train them to check whether people are here illegally. That would include the departments of public safety, corrections, highway patrol, and the State Bureau of Investigation. It also directs agencies to stop providing state benefits to noncitizens, including unemployment compensation. It also allows victims of crimes committed by undocumented immigrants to sue cities and counties if they create sanctuary policies, and it forbids the UNC school system from keeping information from federal immigration officials. Gilberto Pagan is the director of Hispanos del Sur, a conservative Hispanic organization, and he's in favor of the bills. 'I think generally speaking, it's about safety, it's about everybody's safety across the whole state, and that includes immigrant communities and everybody who lives here,' Pagan said. Earlier this week, pro-immigrant rights groups spoke out against recent immigration raids. Both bills passed the legislature on Tuesday. Gov. Josh Stein wouldn't answer whether or not he will sign them into law. His office told Channel 9, 'He has made clear that if someone commits a crime and they are here illegally, they should be deported.' Stein has 10 days to veto the bills or they'll become law. In the meantime, organizers plan to protest in First Ward Park this Saturday at 11 a.m. It's the same day that President Donald Trump has called for a parade in Washington D.C. to celebrate the Army's 250th birthday. June 14 is also Trump's birthday. (VIDEO: Supporters in Charlotte call for release of SEIU leader after ICE protests)

Protective order against former UFC champ B.J. Penn extended
HAWAII POLICE DEPARTMENT Jay Dee 'B.J.' Penn : The former UFC champion who allegedly suffers from traumatic brain injury must vacate the home he shares with his 79-year-old mother HAWAII POLICE DEPARTMENT Jay Dee 'B.J.' Penn : The former UFC champion who allegedly suffers from traumatic brain injury must vacate the home he shares with his 79-year-old mother A Hilo family court judge extended a protective order until Nov. 23 brought by the 79-year-old mother of former UFC champion. Penn must immediately vacate the home he shares in Hilo with his mom, Lorraine P. Shin, according to state court records. Tuesday's court appearance was the latest in a series of civil and criminal incidents involving the mixed martial artist and former candidate for governor and Hawaii County Council. He is wanted on at least two contempt warrants for failing to appear in court after being charged with assaulting Shin. On May 21, after failing to respond to a series of civil complaints, a judge awarded compensatory and punitive damages totaling $376, 480 to a man who sued Penn for posting a series of 'vitriolic, threatening, and demeaning communications ' about the man. Penn accused Kealii Bertel mann of impersonating Gov. Josh Green and 'stealing money from Lahaina fire victims ; being responsible for the COVID-19 outbreak in Hawaii ; seeking to 'take' people's guns ; and, 'doing climate change to take our money, '' according to state court records. Penn was not arrested when he appeared in court Tuesday and refused to sign the amended protective order approved by the judge. He is not listed in the Hawaii Police Department's booking log, according to a police spokesperson. Hawaii Prosecuting Attorney Kelden B.A. Waltjen did not respond to Honolulu Star-Advertiser questions about Penn's outstanding warrants. Penn did not reply to a Star-Advertiser request to comment. Shin signed the amended, eight-page restraining order Tuesday. Penn 'refused to sign ' according to a notation written on his signature line on the order. Penn, listed as 5 feet, 9 inches tall and 170 pounds in police booking records, was arrested in Hilo on May 25 and again on May 26 and charged with misdemeanor abuse of a household member. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Herbert H. Mukai filed a motion to revoke Penn's bail 'for his willful violation of the terms and conditions of his release on bail ' after he failed to appear in court. Penn traumatic brain injuries, drug abuse, and Capgras delusional syndrome, where a person believes a friend, spouse, parent or family member has been replaced by an identical impostor, according to state court records. Penn believes Shin is not his mother and is working with a 'sabotage squad ' trying to take all his money. Two days ago Penn posted two links to news coverage documenting his cognitive decline with an archived voice-over by Hector Lombard, a mixed martial arts commentator. Lombard is heard lauding Penn's legacy in the ring and his then candidacy to serve as Hawaii's governor. 'I need to go to the hospital for posting on Instagram ? What did I physically do ? I need to go to the hospital for posting on Instagram ?? These people are out of their minds, ' wrote Penn. Penn is barred by a protective order from coming near his two daughters and their mother until 2030. Penn shall not 'threaten /physically abuse /psychologically abuse /maliciously damage or disturb the property /prohibited from personally contacting the other party and protected minor (s ), ' according to state court records. He cannot come within 100 yards of any 'residence, place of employment, or school ' his daughters and their mother attend, work, or live at. Penn and his former family may have 'limited ' contact with each of their attorneys present. Similar conditions apply to the protective order approved by the judge Tuesday. Shin has two open felony theft complaints against Penn, who she said stole her purse, credit cards and clothes, and poured glue into the keyhole of her front door. At about 8 :40 p.m. May 25, Shin told police that Penn was trying to hide mail he stole from her and that he came up to her and shined a light in her eyes, temporarily blinding her. Shin told officers she tried to push the flashlight out of her face when Penn 'grabbed her forearms and pushed her back so that she was pushed backwards and hit a parked and unattended vehicle.' Shin told police she felt pain in her left midback area. She completed a domestic violence statement form and medical release form, police said. Police did not notice any injuries at the scene. Penn, who holds a UFC rec ord of 16-14-2, received 19, 667 votes in the 2022 Republican primary for governor.
