Former UFC Champion Jon Jones Misdemeanor Charges Dropped Albuquerque

Misdemeanor charges against UFC star Jon Jones for allegedly leaving the scene of an accident in Albuquerque, New Mexico, have been dropped after the state found his alibi credible. The incident involved a woman who claimed Jones was driving before fleeing, but Jones' attorney stated that cell phone records proved he was not near the crash site, calling the woman's allegations false and an attempt to avoid a DWI arrest. The New Mexico district attorney's office conducted a thorough review and dismissed the charges, acknowledging the validity of Jones' defense. Jones' legal team expressed concern that critical evidence was initially overlooked, leading to unnecessary legal challenges. Although Jones announced his retirement earlier this year, he has since re-entered the UFC drug testing pool and expressed interest in competing at a proposed UFC event at the White House. UFC CEO Dana White remains skeptical about Jones' reliability for future bouts.
