A Troubling Saga Unfolds

Former UFC two-division champion B.J. Penn finds himself at the center of a storm, having been arrested for the fifth time since Memorial Day weekend. His latest arrest, executed by Hawaii police on charges of violating a restraining order filed by his own mother, Lorraine Shin, marks yet another chapter in his unsettling family saga.

Details of the Arrest

Penn, 46, was taken into custody without incident on September 15, 2025, after officers responded to a report indicating he had entered a property in breach of a court-issued protection order. The order, granted by Judge Jeffrey Ng in late August, prohibits Penn from contacting his mother in any manner until May 26, 2026.
