UFC star Jones booked for violating probation

UFC former light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has been booked into jail Tuesday in Albuquerque, New Mexico for violating probation as a result of citations received on March 24 for drag racing and four other violations.

The citations impacted the plea deal he struck last September for the hit-and-run incident he had last year.

The 28-year-old Jones is schedued to return to the Octagon at UFC 197 on April 23 to face Daniel Cormier for the light heavyweight championship.

Jones pleaded guilty in September to a felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident, but he avoided jail time.
