Martial artist faces assault charge
By Peter Boylan

Police yesterday charged a top Hilo martial artist with first-degree assault after he allegedly punched a police officer outside a Waikiki nightclub hosting a post-event party for Saturday's professional fight card at the Blaisdell Center Arena.
B.J. Penn, shown here after winning a match in Honolulu in 2004, was charged with assault for allegedly punching a police officer.
B.J. "The Prodigy" Penn, 26, was arrested early yesterday outside the Zanzabar Night Club on Kuhio Avenue after he allegedly hit Oscar Pauoa, 42, a uniformed police officer who was on a special-duty assignment at a party for the participants of the "Rumble on the Rock 7" mixed martial arts competition.
Penn is the top-ranked welterweight mixed martial arts fighter in MMAFighting.net's world rankings. Mixed martial arts is a combat sport in which competitors may punch, kick, choke, throw and use other techniques.
Police said Pauoa, who was hit in the face, and another officer working at the club had gone outside to break up a fight among a large group of men. Police said the officers used pepper spray to disperse the crowd.
Penn, who police said was in the crowd, allegedly hit Pauoa with a blind-side punch to his left eye and tried to run away, police said. Pauoa ran after Penn and tackled him, but was immediately jumped by several other men in the crowd who tried to pull the officer off Penn, police said.
At that moment, District 6 patrol officers arrived, pulled the men off Pauoa and arrested Penn on suspicion of assaulting a law-enforcement officer in the first degree, a Class C felony.
If convicted, Penn faces up to five years in jail. His bail was set at $20,000.
Pauoa was taken by ambulance to Straub Hospital, where he was treated and released.
Jim Boersema, co-owner of Zanzabar, said he hired two uniformed special-duty police officers for Saturday's post-fight party and sectioned off a portion of the club to give the fighters privacy. He said there were about 600 people in the club at closing time.
"We didn't have any problems," he said.
Penn's brother, J.D. Penn — president of Rumble on the World Entertainment, which promoted Saturday's fight — said the company is looking into the arrest. Rumble on the World is the largest promoter and organizer of mixed martial arts competitions in the state.
"It's definitely not good; we're still investigating everything that happened," J.D. Penn said.
He said further inquires about his brother's case would be handled by Honolulu attorney Michael Green. Green acknowledged yesterday that he is representing Penn but declined further comment.
Penn did not fight Saturday night but attended the fight to support his brother and fighters who compete and train with B.J. Penn's Mixed Martial Arts Academy in Hilo. Rumble on the World is a Hilo-based company that produces and markets mixed martial arts events and TV productions.
Penn also runs the BJ Penn Jiu-jitsu Academy in Kona.
The arrest was the second recent negative allegation against Rumble on the World Entertainment. Last week, police opened an investigation into allegations that a Waimanalo boxing coach entered a 14-year-old boy into a "Rumble on the Rock" qualifying event against a 32-year-old professional fighter March 11. The arrest and investigation come at a time when the Legislature has passed a bill with new regulations for the sport.
Gov. Linda Lingle has until July 12 to sign Senate Bill 768, which addresses conduct and permits for martial arts fights and requires promoters to put specific safeguards in place. It also would levy a fine of up to $10,000 for infractions.
The state believes the rules are necessary to regulate a violent activity that's gaining in popularity. The "Rumble on the Rock 6" in November 2004 sold more than 8,000 tickets, according to the company.
J.D. Penn acknowledged that his brother's arrest, coupled with the allegations of a minor fighting a man, are damaging.
"It's definitely not good at the same time, but when it rains, it pours," he said yesterday. "That 14-year-old (fighting in a match), we would never let that happen. We're investigating to figure out what went wrong."
He said he supports regulation as a way to legitimize and recognize the sport. Regulation also allows the sport to move into the mainstream, he said, and would force everyone involved to play by the same rules and work together, he said.
In less than two years, Rumble World Entertainment, formerly Prodigy Productions, has transformed "Rumble on the Rock" from a small Hilo-based show into a globally recognized event broadcast in 90 countries, according to a company press release.
Looks like mayhem about has lockdown on his Attorney..and the Attorney doesnt know how to keep tight. definitely too much space IMO.
anyway, the truth is I dont know the guy Mayhem was scrapping with...but most likely..had Mayhem really had intentions of hurting that guy, he would have.
'Mayhem' Miller acquitted of burglary, assault
By Ken Kobayashi
Advertiser Staff Writer
Professional mixed-martial arts fighter Jayson "Mayhem" Miller was acquitted this afternoon of kicking open the locked door of his girlfriend's Nu'uanu apartment and assaulting the man there.
A Circuit Court jury deliberated for several hours following a 2 1/2-day trial before finding Miller not guilty of first-degree burglary, third-degree assault and fourth-degree criminal property damage.
Miller, 25, was accused of breaking into the apartment at about 6 a.m. Dec. 16 last year and assaulting Casey Hewes, who was at the residence.
The prosecution contended that Miller was probably drunk when kicked the door because he suspected Catherine Tanaka was with another man and he wanted to "hurt whoever he found in there."
But Miller's defense was that he didn't know anyone was with his girlfriend and he kicked the door to wake her after she didn't answer him knocking on the door for about 25 minutes.
Miller did not attack Hewes and tried several times to leave, but Hewes kept grabbing him, his defense lawyer David Hayakawa said.
If convicted of first-degree burglary, Miller could have faced a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.

"Mayhem" Not Guilty
He's not guilty on all counts. That's the verdict for a local mixed martial arts star accused of breaking into his girlfriends house and beating up a man. The jury deliberated for most of Friday on the fate of Jason "Mayhem" Miller. Late Friday afternoon, the jury found the professional fighter not guilty of burglary and assault in the third degree.
Miller and his attorney made a big show for jurors on Thursday, wrestling in the courtroom to show them what they say happened last December. Miller claims he accidentally kicked down his girlfriend's door and bit Casey Hewes in self-defense. The jury believed him and cleared Miller of all charges.
