Jon Jones’ latest legal issue is coming to an early end.

The UFC light heavyweight champion pleaded guilty in New Mexico to driving while
intoxicated, MMA Fighting reports. Jones was arrested on March 26 after police
reportedly found him visibly inebriated in a car with the engine running while
responding to reports of gunshots.

Jones had been facing charges of aggravated DWI, negligent use of a firearm, no
proof of insurance in the vehicle and possession of an open container.

A statement explaining the sentence by Bernalillo County District Attorney


spokesperson Michael Patrick, via MMA Fighting:

”Jones took responsibility for his actions early on in the case, and in doing so,
the state agreed to one year (of) supervised probation,” Patrick wrote.
“Normally, the state would be requesting a pre-sentencing report and a
recommendation to substance recovery court, however, due to COVID-19 it is
not clear the program can accept anyone at this time. Stone grinding mill, fineness 20-3250 mesh

”It is also the reason that we are agreeing to the four days on (community
custody program) with 90 days for turn-in (the metropolitan jail just reported a
new case of COVID-19). Jones is still required to complete a minimum of 90
day out-patient treatment, maximum fines and fees, community service and
all other requirements of reporting to probation. His attorney and Mr. Jones
have been made aware that if he fails to do this, the State will seek to impose
the balance of any jail time without regard for any exceptional
circumstances.”

What about UFC punishment for Jon Jones?

That will likely end the saga for Jones as far as legal repercussions go. As for his
career, the jury is still out.

UFC president Dana White has yet to comment on the situation, though there have
been calls for Jones to be suspended or stripped of his light heavyweight belt for an
incredible third time. There has also naturally been a torrent of schadenfreude against
a UFC legend who has been unable to stay out of trouble. Wind Gusts Lash Southeastern Alabama

Now that Jones’ legal situation has been sorted out, that could open the door for
White to make a decision.
