Jon Jones had too much free time on his hand thanks to the coronavirus, so if you were going to guess an athlete who was going to get arrested during THE RONA, Jon Jones would have been high on that list.
TMZ Sports has the details.
UFC superstar Jon Jones was arrested for DWI and a gun charge in New Mexico Thursday morning, TMZ Sports has confirmed.
Cops say they responded to reports of gunfire in Albuquerque at around 1 AM — and when they arrived to the scene, they found Jones inside a 2019 Jeep with the engine running and the car in park.
Jon denied firing a gun — but officers say he appeared intoxicated (bloodshot, watery eyes and reeked of booze) and conducted a field sobriety test, which he allegedly bombed.
He also took a breathalyzer, twice, and registered over the legal limit both times.
During a subsequent search of the vehicle, cops say they found a black handgun and a half-empty bottle of tequila behind the passenger seat.
He was arrested and booked for aggravated driving while intoxicated, negligent use of a deadly weapon and possession of an open container.
Jones was on probation for allegedly slapping a stripper, but that probation ended in January.
