UFC 187 headliner Jon Jones sought for questioning in hit-and-run in Albuquerque

The Albuquerque police department has provided some clarification regarding an incident involving UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones. After an initial report of Jones being out of his UFC 187 main event vs. Anthony Johnson turned out to be false, Albuquerque officials told MMA Fighting's Marc Raimondi that they are seeking out Jones for questioning in a hit-and-run accident earlier today:

A middle-aged woman's car was struck Sunday in Albuquerque, N.M., and the offender in the other vehicle fled the scene, per Albuquerque PD spokesman Simon Drobik. The case is currently under investigation and Albuquerque PD would like to speak with Jones regarding the matter.
