In a shockingly sensational headline, THE DAILY PILOT
(which covers Newport Beach and Costa Mesa, California) ran a story
entitled BABY DIES AFTER CRASH. The article is about the woman
whom officials say former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton "Rampage"
Jackson sideswiped during his "rampage" throughout town has now suffered a
miscarriage, according to her fiance. No actions filed yet. Obviously, legal
action will be taken, but not before the District Attorney's Office decides the
severity of the charges against Jackson.

A Huntington Beach woman who was more than 16 weeks pregnant and
who police said was injured in a hit-and-run crash with mixed martial artist
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson on the 55 Freeway two weeks ago has had a miscarriage,
her fiance said Friday.
Holli Griggs, 38, was driving her 2007 Cadillac
Escalade in the left lane on the southbound 55 Freeway just south of Bay Street
on July 15 when Jackson’s gray-and-green pick-up truck sideswiped her as he
drove along the median lane at about 45 mph, California Highway Patrol officials
said.
Prosecutors have yet to file charges against Jackson, a former light
heavyweight champion for the Ultimate Fighting Championship who remains free on
$25,000 bail. Prosecutors would not comment on any potential charges due to
Griggs’ miscarriage.
“Our office will make sure we take as much time as
necessary to make a proper filing decision and including all evidence and
medical information to make sure any charges that are filed are fair and
accurate,” Dist. Atty. spokeswoman Farrah Emami said.
Efforts to reach
Jackson and his representatives have been unsuccessful since he was
arrested.
Griggs was unavailable for comment Friday. Her fiance, Bill
Krebs, said doctors were immediately concerned when they noticed a significant
loss of fluid in Griggs’ womb after the accident. Days before the crash, the
couple had visited the doctor for an ultrasound, and Griggs was told she “had
enough fluid for three babies,” Krebs said. She was pregnant with a
boy.
Griggs was sent to Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian after the
accident, CHP officials said. Krebs said he and Griggs were then sent to
pregnancy specialists at Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Anaheim, where doctors
noticed the problem.
The couple have retained an attorney but have yet to
take legal action against Jackson.
“No amount of money will bring back my
son,” Krebs said outside his home Thursday.
Jackson was arrested July 15
after Costa Mesa police say they chased him from 18th Street and Newport
Boulevard, where he was weaving through traffic with a flat tire while talking
on the phone all the way to 18th Street on Balboa Boulevard in Newport
Beach.
Jackson ran several red lights, drove on concrete islands narrowly
missing pedestrians, headed into oncoming traffic and hit another car, police
said. Officers did not test Jackson for drugs or alcohol because he did not
appear to be under the influence, Sgt. Bryan Glass said. He was released that
night on bail.
The next day, Jackson was taken from his Irvine home and
hospitalized for observation after police deemed he was a danger to himself and
others. Jackson was upset by Forrest Griffin in a light heavyweight title bout
in Las Vegas July 5.
