Jon Jones may face felony charges for alleged role in hit-and-run accident

There is currently no arrest warrant for the UFC light heavyweight champion, but he is suspected to be the perpetrator in a hit-and-run accident Sunday morning in Albuquerque, according to Albuquerque PD. It was initially thought that Jones could face misdemeanor charges, but because the victim in the accident, a pregnant woman in her 20s, broke her arm in the collision, the potential charges have been upgraded to a felony.

Albuquerque Police Department spokesman Tanner Tixier told MMAFighting.com on Monday afternoon that officers are currently working on an arrest warrant. It would also have to be signed by a judge.
