Compiled a Jon Jones timeline of run-ins with the police largely from MMAJunkie: Here
Their list was incomplete however so I added the most recent stuff. I'm not making any statements from this thread, just thought it would be interesting to some. Not in anyway trying to bash Jones.
Dec. 12, 2008
Three months after his promotional debut at UFC 87, Jones is driving with his girlfriend, Jessie Moses, and allegedly loses control of a 2001 Subaru on an icy roadway in Ithaca, N.Y. The car slides into two occupied parked cars, damaging the driver’s side mirror of one and forcing the other off the shoulder, according to an accident report.
Jan. 18, 2009
Jones, again in the 2001 Subaru with Moses and his newborn daughter, Leah, is cited for unsafe passing in Ithaca after allegedly hitting a car that was attempting to make a left turn. The driver of the opposing car claims he had his turn signal activated; Jones admits he didn’t have his on and acknowledges the car was slowing down. Emergency services are called to the scene, but there are no injuries.
Jan. 20, 2011
Jones was involved in a car crash while driving his Chrysler 300. The crash resulted in a woman leaving the scene of the accident on a stretcher.
Nov. 24, 2011
Jones is driving a black 2012 Bentley – given as a gift by the UFC – when a cop spots him “drifting,” or intentionally losing traction, around a corner before pulling into the parking lot of an Albuquerque strip club. The Bentley is towed after the cop runs Jones’ license and discovers it’s suspended. Jones is cited for “loss of traction” and driving with a suspended license. The charges are later dropped.
May 19, 2012
Jones is intercepted by Binghamton (N.Y) police after striking a utility pole. He is with two female passengers, who sustain minor injuries in the accident. Jones, allegedly slurring his speech and walking unsteadily, is taken into custody after he “politely refuses” a sobriety test. He’s later fined $1,000, ordered to undergo an alcohol-awareness program, and must install an ignition interlock on his cars. He also receives a six-month suspension of his license.
Sept. 23, 2014
Jones is fined $50,000 and ordered to perform 40 hours of community service for his role in a brawl with Daniel Cormier in the lobby of Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Hotel & Casino. The two were there to promote their UFC 178 pay-per-view headliner (though the bout was later pushed back to UFC 182).
Jan. 17, 2015
Jones is fined $25,000 for violating the UFC’s fighter code of conduct when an out-of-competition test in connection with UFC 182 reveals the presence of cocaine.
April 27, 2015
Hit-and-run incident. Jones turns himself in to Albuquerque police the same day police officially named him as the lead suspect in a hit-and-run that resulted in a 25-year-old pregnant woman to break her arm. Witnesses say Jones ran a red light and then fled on foot from the scene before turning back to stuff a handful of cash down his pants and again flees. Police find a marijuana pipe and marijuana in the car along with Jones MMA memorabilia and rental-car documents linking Jones to the car. A plea agreement allowed him to avoid jail time and clear his permanent record by serving 18 months supervised probation, during which he agreed to give 72 public-speaking engagements. As part of his agreement, he was also required not to break any laws. The UFC stripped him of his belt during this time.
Feb. 7, 2016
Jones was cited for driving without a driver's license, proof of insurance or registration. While having broke the terms of his probation the judge decided not to give Jones jail time but instead he was given community service.
March 29, 2016
Jones picks up another 5 violations to his probation for drag racing, exhibition driving, weaving, failing to properly display his license plate, and modifying his exhaust pipe. A video was released showing Jones cursing at Albuquerque police officer Jason Brown during a heated confrontation. Jones denies drag racing and calls Brown a “liar” and a “pig”. In a subsequent interview, Jones admitted he let his emotions get the best of him and apologized. Jones is required to complete a driver-improvement course, enroll in an anger-management course and complete 60 additional hours of community service.
July 8, 2016
Jones is forced to withdraw from UFC 200 due to failing an out-of-competition drug screening with subsequent testing confirming the doping. Later that month the Nevada State Athletic Commission revealed Jones tested positive for clomiphene, an anti-estrogenic substance, and letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor. Both substances are banned in and out of competition and are described as, "hormone and metabolic modulators". The substances are often used to reduce the increase of estrogen conversion during & following a cycle of external testosterone use.
