Former UFC star B.J. Penn arrested, charged with assault in Hilo​

HILO, Hawaii (Island News) -- Former UFC star Jay Dee “B.J.” Penn was arrested and charged after he allegedly beat up a man in Hilo early Tuesday morning.

Hawaii Island police responded to a report of an assault at a home on Kanoa Street in Hilo at 1 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 4. A 45-year-old man told police that Penn punched and kicked him multiple times before he was able to escape and call police.

After reporting the attack, the victim went to Hilo Benioff Medical Center for his injuries.


Police officers were able to locate Penn at 11:50 a.m. on Lehua Street where he was arrested without incident. He was charged with third-degree assault then released after posting $1,000 bail.

Penn is scheduled to make his first court appearance for this case on Dec. 2, 2025, in Hilo District Court.

Since May and most recently in September, Penn has been arrested multiple times in regards to family abuse charges and restraining order/protective order violations filed by his mother Lorraine Shin. His family testified in previous court hearings claiming that he suffers from a mental disorder called Capgras syndrome, where he believes his mother has been replaced by an imposter.

If everything clicked fighting he would beat Jdm, Islam, topuria and openweight fight with Gane(if that dirty eye gauging cheater ever became champ).

In before: most post-career mental collapse is not CTE, it’s quantifiable existential decompression, a measurable psychological response to the sudden loss of structure, purpose, and hormonal balance that comes with retirement, not a neurological disease.

Probably a clone

We can help fighters long before the damage happens. Just starting the conversation already makes a difference.


Athletes retire and lose the structure that kept their mind balanced. Routine, purpose, adrenaline, and social connection disappear at once. The body stops producing the same dopamine and testosterone it used to, and that hole often gets filled with alcohol or drugs.


Talking about this now lets fighters plan their exit before it breaks them. They can build new routines, new challenges, new tribes.


One honest conversation today might save someone’s life five years from now.

I can't believe what I'm watching in real time here. He's obviously suffering from delusions and schizophrenia. Why the fuck are police arresting him. He needs urgent mental health intervention, to determine whether he can be medicated.

Meth got him in a chokehold

The Fall of BJ Penn ... Damn
