Celebrity Justice
Rampage Charged in Insane Chase

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ UFC former champ Quinton "Rampage" Jackson has been charged with six crimes in connection with the epic car chase in the O.C.

The Orange County District Attorney has charged Rampage with one felony count of evading while driving recklessly, one felony count of evading a peace officer, three misdemeanor counts of hit and run, and one misdemeanor reckless driving. You'll recall Rampage was driving a monster truck with a huge image of himself plastered on the side (always a bad move when you're evading police) when he allegedly struck two cars on a freeway, hit another car on a surface street and sent pedestrians scurrying for their lives.

If convicted he'll face three years in prison.

Now, shock of shocks. He was NOT charged with DUI. And, a few days after the incident, a pregnant woman in the car he hit on the freeway lost her baby, but Rampage was not charged for that after an investigation revealed that the miscarriage was unrelated to the accident.

19. #14, get your facts straight. That "gangbanger" happens to be one of the best UFC/MMA fighters in the world! I'll admit he should've gotten a stiffer sentence because someone could've died due to his actions but gangbanger?! Please, not everyone that's black that commits a crime is a thug. An idiot.....yes! But a thug, please! You want thugs? Go to Washington D.C. to find some real criminals! Hint: They wear suits and reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

27. Rampage, you should be ashamed. Unwanted or not, you are a role model. You are an athlete. My son watches your sport and I do believe it is a sport, so I support that. My little boy (10) watches you and is a fan. I wont let him watch WWE because I believe it is filled with morons. YOU are supposed to be above that! Conduct yourself as a man should, you have been given a great gift and talent, yet you squander it. Shame to you and your family. I hope you have asked forgiveness from God, the woman you hit, your mother and the people who pay to see you!!!

30. Quinton is a great guy, very down to earth and generous. We all f**k up every now and then, his is only publicized because he's a celebrity. Give him a break!
