New Mexico District Attorney Lacks Key Evidence in Jon Jones Case

The former UFC light heavyweight champion was arrested in April on a felony charge for a hit-and-run incident in Albuquerque.

MMAFighting’s Marc Raimondi reported that, after running a red light, Jones ran his rental vehicle into two other vehicles, causing a three-car pileup.

Vanessa Sonnenberg, a 25-year-old pregnant woman, sustained a fractured arm in the crash.

Jones reportedly ran to his vehicle to grab a handful of cash before fleeing from the scene on foot. Authorities found marijuana inside of a marijuana pipe in the vehicle. A day later, Jones turned himself in after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
