Following several hours of live-tweeting his own standoff with Orange County police, Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller was taken into custody without the situation escalating any further.

Miller, who had barricaded himself inside his home for several hours, constantly updated his timeline with random posts regarding the standoff. FOX 11 Los Angeles was able to catch the entire arrest from a helicopter.

While the situation eventually required an entire SWAT team, it appears to have began with an alleged stalking that brought about the arrest warrant.

“Deputies were trying to serve an arrest warrant for alleged stalking at the home when the situation escalated into a SWAT call,” Lt. Jeff Hallock with the Orange County Sheriff’s Department told KTLA.
