COSTA MESA, Calif. — Former mixed martial arts light
heavyweight champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson was arrested
Tuesday after a series of collisions allegedly involving the pickup
truck he was driving.
    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.
    Jackson, 30, who lives in Irvine, was upset by Forrest Griffin
at UFC 86 earlier this month in Las Vegas.
    UFC spokeswoman Jennifer Wenk in Las Vegas said UFC officials
were aware of Jackson’s arrest and had no comment.
