UFC champion Jon Jones arrested for aggravated DWI, negligent use of firearm in Albuquerque

Jones was arrested for aggravated DWI (driving while intoxicated) as well as negligent use of a firearm, possession of an open container and driving with no proof of insurance.

Calls to Jones’ management team for comment were not returned.

According to the criminal complaint first reported by KOAT in Albuquerque, officers responded to gunshots and they found Jones in the driver’s seat of his vehicle. He claimed he didn’t know anything about the gunshots fired.

Officers noticed that Jones seemed intoxicated and he admitted to officers that he had been driving earlier that night and intended to drive again. Jones submitted to sobriety tests and performed poorly on all of them.

He later took a breathalyzer test and results returned at or above twice the legal limit.

After Jones was arrested, a black handgun was found underneath the driver’s seat along with a bottle of Recuerdo behind the passenger’s seat.

So they responded to gun shots, and when they got there, Jones was sitting there drunk in his car with the engine on along with a handgun and a bottle of booze. LOL.

This is going to end really badly and pretty soon.

when there's not much going on and we're bored to sh*t, jon jones comes to rescue!

What a shame, he might be the most talented fighter ever but he's also the most frustrating. Not even a pandemic can stop this guy from going out and partying. You'd think with all the money he has he could stay at home in his mansion and drink like there's no tomorrow. Oh well

Wooow... just cut his ass!

Wonder what sort of excuses White will give this time to avoid releasing him

[Jasen777]

Seriously though. How is he allowed to drive?

Or not.

Dana for sure would love to spin this as just an aberrant hiccup not characteristic of 'the new Jon Jones.' He could also just yank his belt for an inconsequential amount of time (~6-12mos), allowing Jones to come right back and recapture it soon enough.

As for the New Mexico authorities, not sure how that'll go, but they do have a track record of letting him off pretty lightly, considering.

If there's a tragedy here, it's that even though Jones has arguably lost three times (Gus I, Santos, Reyes), we may never get to see him smashed by his kryptonite, such as Rumble Johnson or someone like that.

"Jon's warning shots were merely attempts to encourage social distancing"

"The alcohol was to kill the virus."

Just say it's not their job to punish him, it's the court system's.

UFC superstar Jon Jones has pled guilty to driving while intoxicated stemming from a March 26 arrest in New Mexico, officials tell TMZ Sports.

The reigning UFC light heavyweight champ has struck a deal with prosecutors in which he agreed to 1-year supervised probation. The sentence has not yet been approved by a judge but that's just a matter of time at this point.

As part of the deal, Jones will serve 96 hours in a community custody program -- which is a form of incarceration, but not in a traditional jail cell. We're told it's similar to house arrest. He will wear an ankle monitor, which allows authorities to make sure he doesn't leave his residence unless he has permission.

Officials say Jones will be ordered to "complete a minimum of 90 day out-patient treatment, maximum fines and fees, community service and all other requirements of reporting to probation."

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, officials are allowing Jones to participate in the outpatient program via video conferencing.

As for the community service, Jones must complete 48 total hours.

Jones must also install an ignition interlock device in any vehicle he operates -- which requires him to complete a breathalyzer (to test for alcohol) before the car will start.

"His attorney and Mr. Jones have been made aware that if he fails to do this, the State will seek to impose the balance of any jail time without regard for any exceptional circumstances," officials say.
