Former UFC lightweight champ, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, was busted Tuesday afternoon (July 15) after cops chased him down, guns drawn, and ordered him to the ground, reports TMZ.

Update via TMZ: Rampage was on the 55 Freeway in the O.C., hit two cars and got off the freeway. The chase was on. He then began driving on the center divider. But it gets worse. According to the police report, Jackson then drove on the sidewalk, “causing pedestrians to flee for their lives.” He started driving the wrong way on a crowded street, colliding with yet another car in an intersection. As he continued on, running several red lights, his tire disintegrated and he began driving on the rim.

Rampage eventually got to the exclusive Balboa Peninsula in Newport Beach, where he again drove on the sidewalk, “causing pedestrians to flee in terror.”

Eventually, his car came to a stop and he was taken into custody at gunpoint. Cops took him to the Orange County Jail, but they determined he was “medically unfit” to be booked. Cops won’t say if he was high. Rampage is currently in an O.C. hospital.
