TMZ Sports have confirmed that Jon Jones was arrested on charges of driving under the influence, negligent use of a firearm and possession of an open container. According to the report, Albuquerque police department responded to a reported case of gunshots fired in the area of 3rd Street and Central Avenue just after 1 a.m. When the police officers arrived they reportedly found Jones inside his vehicle.

The police then placed Jones under arrest. After the search of Jone’s vehicle, officers reportedly found a handgun and a 750ml bottle of Recuerdo, which is a drinks brand owned by UFC welterweight challenger Jorge Masvidal.

TMZ Sports also report that Jones was later booked and released and has a bond arraignment court date set for April 9, 2020.

This is not the first time UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones has had a run in with the law. In 2015, Jones was involved in a hit-and-run incident. He was involved in a collision with two other vehicles, one of which had a pregnant woman in it. Jones fled the scene of the crime on foot and was later arrested by Albuquerque police.

In an interview in December 2016, Jones admitted he had run from the scene of the accident and had not checked on the occupant of the other vehicle.

In 2019, Jones was also arrested and charged with battery. The incident involved a cocktail waitress at TD’s Eubank Showclub in Albuquerque. Jones allegedly slapped her and put her in a chokehold, as well as sexually assaulted her.

In a recent interview with Tim Kennedy, he revealed that he could smell “booze and marijuana” on Jones in training.

Jon Jones recently defended his belt against Dominick Reyes at UFC 248 in February of this year. Jones won the fight via unanimous decision, however many fans and pundits believed that Dominick Reyes was “robbed”.

In fact, the stats for total significant strikes landed were in favor of Reyes.

UFC president Dana White has confirmed that he believes Reyes deserves a rematch against Jon Jones and the fight was reportedly in the works.
