Early Thursday morning as most of the world already knows UFC light heavyweight champion of the world Jon Jones was arrested for DWI, having an open container in his vehicle, failure to provide insurance, and negligent use of a firearm in his home town of Albuquerque New Mexico.
As is the standard procedure in most jurisdictions today, the arresting officers had body cams on and the footage has been released this YouTube video I am sharing was 1st aired on the Mac life YouTube channel.
By the end of the video as the police were escorting him to the police vehicle that will eventually take him to jail you can hear a very emotional Jones speak, his voice starts to crack and it sounds as if he’s starting to cry.
Jones has a scheduled court date on April 8th. The UFC has not commented publicly other than saying they are aware of the situation and gathering information.
