The veteran fighter was hit with four charges, including aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and resisting arrest without violence.

They arrived to find Silva, 31, locked inside his house and the SWAT team was called in. Silva has been suspended from UFC twice since 2011 for failing drug tests. Suzi Forum, 22, was on the scene Thursday night. "Based on what I heard, a gentleman was at the Brazilian jiu-jitsu place right around the corner and caused a scene there, barricaded himself into these condos back here and this started about 8 p.m.," she told the Sun Sentinel. "It's creepy, creepy. It hits close to home," said neighbor Debbie Wallace. "To be honest with you, I just watched my 4-year-old grandson doing jiu-jitsu in Plantation today. Now I want to take him out of it."
