Report: Former UFC star Chris Leben arrested in San Diego amid multiple assault charges

Former The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) original and Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Middleweight contender Chris Leben has been strung up on multiple charges stemming from an alleged incident of domestic violence in San Diego, Calif., early Wednesday morning, according to Bleacher Report (h/t Bloody Elbow).

Leben, who recently turned 35, was arrested on numerous counts of trespassing, as well as felony vandalism and possession of an assault weapon. His bail was set at $100,000 and he was processed at San Diego Central Jail.

This is not Leben's first brush with the law. "The Crippler" was arrested for DUI in 2008 and sent to prison, as well as in 2010 when he was picked up on suspicion of the same offense in Hawaii.
