News Jon Jones arrested for DWI and Firearm Charges

[poor form]

I'll wait to reserve judgement, he's under a lot of stress and those breathalyzers are not very accurate I wonder if it's even been calibrated recently

Yeah, let’s hope they did the nitrate test on this guy’s hands to prove he fired the gun, eh??

You’re abysmal.

He drove drunk once I think. And there's not supposed to be anyone on the roads to put in danger.

Except the random homeless people Jones was out treating as humans... Cars can hit pedestrians too..not just other cars.

He drove drunk once I think. And there's not supposed to be anyone on the roads to put in danger.

He crashed his car into a pole while drunk and I believe was under the influence when he did his hit and run.

He also attacked a cocktail waitress back in April of last year slapping her and putting her into a choke hold. So there was physical violence outside the cage too.

Hopefully Jon get's the wake up call that he needs from this.

Admin note: Hi everyone, welcome back the forums. We migrated our servers, so we had some expected downtime. We're glad to be back, and in time for the insane news that broke this morning. We know you're dying to talk about it:

Edit: The migration is taking longer than we expected, but we are still working on it. Trust me, we're chomping at the bit to get this show on the road too.


On Thursday morning, KOAT 7 News in Albuquerque, New Mexico, reported that Jon Jones has been arrested and charged with multiple offenses. Those charges include an aggravated DWI, the negligent use of a firearm, possession of an open container of alcohol in his vehicle and operating a vehicle without insurance.

According to arresting officer Brian Johnson, gunshots were heard after 1 a.m. on Thursday in Albuquerque, and officers responded to the scene. They found Jones in his vehicle, where Jones claimed he was unaware of shots fired. Upon questioning, Jones admitted he had been driving, while officers took note of his potential intoxication. He was given a sobriety test, which led to a Breathalyzer where he blew over two times above the legal limit.

When searching his vehicle, the police found a handgun under the driver’s seat, as well as a partially-empty bottle of Recuerdo -- the tequila brand launched by fellow UFC fighter Jorge Masvidal -- behind the passenger seat. Jones was subsequently charged with aggravated DWI, the negligent use of a firearm, possession of an open container at that time. When checking his information, the police also discovered he was driving an uninsured vehicle, or at least one that did not have its papers in the confines of the vehicle.

So, what do you think? Will this blow over, or is the UFC actually going to do something now? Either way, please use this thread for all things Jones and his driving and gunning.

What a jabroni. Dude has a wife and kids and home and gets stir crazy and goes and shoots off a gun and gets drunk. Sounds like he is a happy dude.

Your avatar of Shawn Michaels. I just posted the gif of it in the thread lol

It's a fucking pandemic. He was obviously trying to escape the virus. It's all over the news that alcohol helps kill the virus. He may have fired shots at the virus when he thought he could take it out. And he gets arrested for trying to do the human race a favor that we don't deserve.

John was doing the right thing and gets shafted, he was protecting the homeless from COVID19, the only humane thing to do ffs

 

[IIIIIIII]

Hopefully Jon get's the wake up call that he needs from this.

seventh time's the charm?

 

[Milgrim]

I dislike Jones, but I still feel sorry for him. He's on a self-destructive path despite having money, fame, etc. I hope he gets his shit together for his sake and that of his family.

He drove drunk once I think. And there's not supposed to be anyone on the roads to put in danger.

Which time are you counting? The time he wrapped his car around a phone pole, or the time he ran a red light and broke a pregnant woman's arm, then fled the scene?

Cause by my count that's at least 2 prior instances

 

[ferrisjso]

Violence or not he drove drunk on a multiple occasions which is putting other peoples lives in danger.

Also not violence but he did slam his car into another vehicle which had a pregnant woman at the wheel then fled the scene.

Jon can do no wrong in your eyes right?

You know it was just random a pregnant woman was in that car, y'all make it sound like he was hunting for a pregnant woman to hit. Also he left his identification which means it wasn't a hit and run IMO, the judge was flat out wrong. He was fleeing to avoid prosecution for a non violent drug charge which is understandable he left his information which is why he was discovered so fast. Calling that a hit and run was a stretch went against the spirit of hit and run laws which are to prevent people escaping responsibility for accidents, Jones left his car and info and the scene and was not doing this.

People get into car accidents. Who the person in the other car happens to be in entirely RANDOM.

 

[CTEGod]

Always the victim. Probably got antsy coz he couldn't see any hookers or strippers for 2 weeks...

There is video evidence that Dana White himself confirmed where it shows Jon playing with the cocktail waitress. She just went to the cops for a pay day nice try.

Had a gun and couldn’t even be bothered to have proof of insurance lol

Also Jones is 6’6

[cheesus]

Jon Jones is a reliable, you can always count on him fucking up.

 

[Deleted member 263856]

He'll keep doing this shit as long as he can get away with. A judge needs to throw the book at him and give whatever the max sentence is. Otherwise he's going to remain a danger to society. Then again he probably wouldn't learn from that either because he's a fucking idiot.

 

[BForrester]

Tbh I don't get how it takes 2 days to change servers. DB backup, install forum on new server, DB restore, DNS change, testing, done. 12 hours tops, and that's if shit gets fucked the first time. Seriously. Even with the pandemic, it can all be done remote from any internet connected computer. I could probably do it from my phone tbh

Yeah, if your migration goes smoothly. You're likely talking about multiple load balancing servers and a shit load of data. Could be they migrated to a different DB platform, web server platform, etc that complicated the migration.

i've had far smaller implementaons take 12 hours+ (IT PM)

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

More importantly get him some help. Dude has serious self destructive tendencies. Alone at night, drunk driving with a gun. That's worrying. Not just because he could have hurt someone else. Jon lost him mom not too long ago and clearly isn't the most stable. Might be a cry for help

The phone car.

He wasn't drunk when he got in a car accident with a pregnant woman.

I gotta ask how'd you get banned with your previous account?
