Jon Jones Arrested For Violating Probation

Jon Jones was arrested and booked into a New Mexico jail for violating his probation on Tuesday. He turned himself in to authorities and even has a brand new mugshot to go along with it.

A judge issued a warrant for the UFC fighter’s arrest after he was pulled over on suspicion of drag racing last week. During the traffic stop in Albuquerque, Jones called the officer who pulled him over a “f-ing liar” and a “pig.”

Jones is on probation as the result of a hit-and-run accident that occurred in April 27, 2015. He ran a red light and crashed his rental car into two other vehicles before fleeing the scene on foot. Jones was suspended by the UFC for the incident and stripped of his light heavyweight title.

Under the terms of his probation, Jones was not allowed to get into any trouble with the law. The judge apparently believes the traffic stop after drag racing was a violation.

The 28-year-old MMA superstar is scheduled to fight Daniel Cormier for the UFC light heavyweight title at UFC 197 on April 23. He is currently sitting in county jail according to TMZ and there is no word on how this latest incident will impact his status for that fight.
