UFC Hall of Famer Pat Miletich gets probation after pleading guilty for OWI

UFC Hall of Famer Pat Miletich has been given probation after pleading guilty to an OWI charge, according to court documents.

Miletich, 57, was granted two years of probation under supervision, according to an order filed by Judge Patrick A. McElyea in Scott County (Iowa) court April 25, per online records. Local news outlet WHBF first reported the development.

On April 12, Miletich pleaded guilty to the class D felony of operating while under the influence of third offense or subsequent offense. The charge stemmed from a Sept. 14, 2023 arrest.

Police said that according to witnesses, Miletich was driving on the wrong side of the road, drove over an embankment, was asleep at the wheel while the car was still running, and had to be reminded by the officer on scene to put the car in park after exiting the vehicle.

Probation came as part of a plea agreement. Court documents show Miletich also completed an anti-drunk driving education course.

The plea came a little over one month after he was charged with a serious misdemeanor of driving while license denied or revoked from an alleged incident March 6, according to online records. Miletich pleaded not guilty on April 16.

Miletich's arrest came the same day as a press conference for his rivalry fight vs. former UFC fighter Mike Jackson. Miletich appeared at the press conference hours after his arrest and went on to lose the October 2023 bout when he did not come out for the third round.
