Miller’s rant on Twitter began Thursday morning when police attempted to serve a warrant at his Mission Viejo, Calif. home for alleged instances of stalking and domestic violence. Lt. Jeff Hallock of the O.C. Sheriff’s Department said Miller went back into his house around 1 p.m. PT and was unresponsive for hours.

“He retreated into the house, was uncooperative with any of the commands by sheriff’s deputies, and based on that, we established a perimeter, called out the SWAT team and now we’re in the process of establishing communication with him inside the house,” Hallock told Los Angeles news station KTLA.
