Jon Jones will not be heading to trial after all.
That’s because the prosecution has dropped all charges in the case levied against “Bones” back in February, which accused the former UFC heavyweight champion of fleeing the scene of a car crash and threatening law enforcement officers who responded to the wreck.
Jones cautioned fans to not believe everything they read online — and for good reason.
“We have been fully vindicated,” attorney Christopher A. Dodd wrote in today’s statement. “From the very
beginning, we explained that a woman made a false allegation against Jon in an effort to avoid being arrested for DWI, and unfortunately, the police accepted that claim without properly weighing the facts. Once the relevant documents were finally disclosed by the police department, Jon’s cell phone records made it undeniably clear that he was nowhere near the scene of the crash.”
“We are grateful that the district attorney’s office took the time to conduct a full and fair review of this case, which ultimately confirmed Jon’s innocence,” Dodd continued. “At the same time, it is deeply troubling that such critical evidence was disregarded, forcing Jon to endure this ordeal unnecessarily. Our investigation into how this occurred remains ongoing.”
