B.J. Penn Arrested Again for Violating Restraining Order

Former UFC champion B.J. Penn was arrested in Hilo, Hawaii, for violating a temporary restraining order obtained by his 79-year-old mother, Lorraine Shin, after he entered a residence from which he was barred. This arrest is Penn's third or fourth in just over two weeks, following multiple charges of family abuse and repeated violations of court orders. The restraining order, recently extended to November, requires Penn to stay away from his mother's residence and place of employment, after she accused him of extreme psychological abuse and delusional behavior reportedly related to Capgras syndrome. Family members and court documents cite concerns about Penn's mental health, including possible traumatic brain injuries and drug abuse. Penn was released on $3,000 bail and is scheduled for another court appearance. The case has led to public and family appeals for him to seek professional help.
