Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson is having a rough month. After recently making headlines for being dethroned by original TUF winner Forrest Griffin, Jackson is back in the news, but for all the wrong reasons.

It seems that Jackson was arrested this afternoon regarding his involvement in a wild ride involving several collisions. The San Francisco Chronicle reported the following:

“Jackson was booked into Orange County Jail for investigation of felony evading, hit and run and reckless driving, according to Lt. Paul Dondero of the Costa Mesa Police Department. Bail was set at $25,000.  Police received a report of an accident on the 55 Freeway near 19th Street in Costa Mesa involving a large pickup truck that had struck other vehicles and fled the scene, Dondero said.  A Costa Mesa officer spotted the pickup getting involved in another collision and fleeing toward Newport Beach. The pickup, which had a tire disabled in the collisions, was pulled over in Newport Beach and Jackson was taken into custody without incident, Dondero said.  There were no injuries involved in the various collisions, he said.”

It isn’t good press for Rampage or the UFC as the vehicle involved seems to have been his “Rampaged out” truck emblazoned with sponsorship logos and a larger than life picture of Rampage on the side as well.  Of course, this leads you to wonder where he thought he was going after the smash-up derby episode.
