Jon Jones to appear in court today, lawyer provides first comments on felony hit-and-run charge

Jon Jones will be headed to court this afternoon.

The UFC light heavyweight champion is due to appear before Judge Rosemary Dominguez at 1 p.m. local time at the Albuquerque Metro Court in New Mexico.

Jones was booked in Bernalillo County Metro Detention Center on Monday evening on a felony charge for "leaving the scene of an accident" for his alleged involvement in a hit-and-run crash (pic) that left a pregnant woman, Vannessa Sonnenberg, with a broken arm (read the criminal complaint here).

Jones was released after posting the $2,500 bail amount only a few hours after his surrender.
