In a surprising turn of events straight from the court, Scott Peterson found himself on the wrong end of a prison brawl while playing pickleball. The inmate who took him down, Charles Miles, won’t be facing any criminal charges for the altercation. This unexpected twist has everyone raising an eyebrow about what really went down at Mule Creek State Prison in California.
It all started back in March 2025 when Peterson and Miles clashed during a friendly game. According to Miles, he went“into attack mode”after Peterson collided with him while chasing after a ball. This pickleball match clearly turned brutal, and it raises questions about how competitive these prison games can get. Talk about a heated competition!
Despite the scuffle, it appears the authorities have decided that what happened during the match was not severe enough for prosecution. Perhaps the prison officials learned the hard lesson that sometimes, there’s no easy way to save face when the competition gets personal. Remember, next time you think about lobbing a ball at someone, especially if that someone’s got a reputation like Peterson’s, tread lightly!
