Local police confirmed to www.mmanewsdesk.com just minutes ago that Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, who lost his title in a controversial and brutal 5 round unanimous decision to Forrest Griffin has been hospitalized for a mental evaluation after his behavior worried friends at his Irvine, California home.

Irvin police Lt. Rick Hanfield said thaty friends of "Rampage" actually flagged down police officers driving past his home because they were concerned by what they described as alarming comments and behavior. According to Handfield, the friends asked the police  officers to decide if Jackson was a danger to himself or others.

Jackson, who was involved in a bizarre police chase that ended when he surrended to the police after being chased in his "Rampage"-customized truck, was bailed out of jail by UFC President Dana White on $25,000 bail, only to find himself back in custody for the mental evaluation. Handfield noted Jackson was cooperative when speaking to police, and officers decided to take him to an unidentified hospital for a mental evaluation. "I wouldn't call it voluntary, but it wasn't an arrest," Handfield said.

There also seems to be new information on the Tuesday incident for which Jackson has been charged with felony evading and 2 misdemeanor offenses. While there were original claims that no one was hurt during the wild scene, it has now come to light that  Holli Griggs, a 38-year-old Huntington Beach woman who is 16 weeks pregnant, was hospitalized after her Cadillac Escalade was sideswiped on the 55 freeway, confirmedI  California Highway Patrol officer Denise Quesada.

"I and my unborn baby have sustained injuries, to what extent is still unknown," Griggs said in an e-mail to the Orange County Register,  "He had no regard for my life or anyone else's for that matter."

Jenny Kimber, a La Habra resident, recalled in an e-mail to the Orange County Register that she "was about 6 feet from being run over by 'Rampage' Jackson" while waiting in her car at the intersection of 17th Street and Newport Boulevard.

"When I saw his truck barreling straight towards me, I was more terrified than you can imagine," Kimber wrote,  "Thankfully, he swerved to avoid hitting my car, and went back onto the wrong side of Newport (Blvd). The police were hot on his tail. I returned to my work in shock, went home and counted my blessings for avoiding certain injury or death."

We will have more on this situation as the story unfolds.
