UFC great B.J. Penn was arrested in Hawaii on Tuesday after violating a court-ordered restraining order, marking his fifth arrest in the calendar year.
Penn’s mother, Lorraine Shin, had been granted a one-year order of protection against the UFC Hall of Famer in August after she successfully petitioned for a temporary restraining order against her son.
The 46-year-old former lightweight and welterweight champ has claimed that his family had been killed and replaced by impostors.
