Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and ADCC silver medalist AJ Agazarm was arrested in California on suspicion of burglary, according to publicly available arrest information. The record lists Agazarm, 39, of Atascadero, California, as having been arrested on September 22, 2026, in Ventura County, with the Ventura County Sheriff named as the arresting agency and California Penal Code 459, burglary, listed as the alleged offense.
AJ Agazarm Arrested: What the Public Record Shows
The publicly available arrest information reviewed for this report lists Agazarm as having been arrested on September 22, 2026, in Ventura County, California. The Ventura County Sheriff is named as the arresting agency, and the alleged offense is California Penal Code 459, the state’s burglary statute.
Beyond those basic fields, the record does not provide a detailed account of the alleged incident. No location for the alleged offense, no narrative of what is said to have happened, and no bail amount or release date appear in the arrest information reviewed. The specific circumstances behind the arrest therefore remain unconfirmed by any official account.
Separate Family-Court Case and Alleged Domestic Incident
Reporting has also surfaced describing a separate proceeding in San Luis Obispo Family Court. That case, reported as filed under number 26FLP-0308, carries a domestic-violence designation, with a restraining-order hearing reported for September 29, 2026. The identity of the other party has not been made public.
It is important to be precise here: the relationship between that family-court proceeding and the Ventura County arrest has not been independently established. The two matters have been discussed together in early coverage, but no official source has confirmed that they are connected, and this article does not treat them as a single case.
Notably, the family-court matter is reported in San Luis Obispo County, while the arrest is listed in Ventura County — a geographic distinction that further cautions against treating the two as one event.
Video Circulating Online Has Not Been Independently Verified
A video has circulated online in the wake of the arrest reporting. The Train Angry MMA Instagram account published footage that it presents as connected to the alleged incident, and some accounts describe the clip as showing an individual resembling Agazarm, wearing a face covering, inside a residence.
At this time, the footage’s origin, its date, the identity of the person shown, and its relationship to the arrest all remain unverified. It should be treated as purported footage, not as independent proof that any offense occurred. No law-enforcement agency has publicly confirmed the clip’s authenticity or its relevance to the arrest.
AJ Agazarm’s BJJ Career
Agazarm is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and a former NCAA Division I wrestler at Ohio State. He is best known for earning a silver medal at the 2017 ADCC Submission Fighting World Championship in the -66 kg division and for winning an IBJJF World No-Gi black belt title.
Those credentials made him one of the more recognizable American competitors of his generation, and he has also released instructional material, including a self-defense-focused instructional reviewed on BJJ World.
Arrest Is Not a Conviction
The allegation remains unresolved. An arrest on suspicion of burglary is not a conviction, and Agazarm is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law. At the time of writing, no official statement from Agazarm or his representatives, and no further law-enforcement detail beyond the basic arrest record, has been made public.
Any further reporting on the AJ Agazarm arrested matter should follow only when it is supported by official records, court documents, or a statement from Agazarm or his representatives. Until then, what is publicly documented is limited to the basic Ventura County arrest record and the separate, unconfirmed reports discussed above.
