Jon Jones Arrested on DUI Suspicion

[Remedy360]

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones was arrested early Saturday morning in Binghamton, N.Y., on suspicion of drunken driving.

"I can confirm that Jon Jones was arrested early this morning on suspicion of DUI," Jones' manager, Malki Kawa, said in a statement.

"While the facts of this situation are still being gathered and situated, First Round Management fully supports Jon and we are asking for fans and media to respect the privacy of Jon and his family during this time."

According to a representative for the Binghamton Police Department, Jones, 24, was arrested at 5:02 a.m. ET after crashing his Bentley.

Jones and his passengers were uninjured. The investigation is ongoing.

TMZ first reported the arrest.

After making his professional mixed martial arts debut in 2008, Jones (16-1) skyrocketed to the highest level of the sport, winning the UFC title at 205 pounds last year by stopping Mauricio Rua.

The native of upstate New York has defended the title three times since, most recently a five-round unanimous decision on network television against Rashad Evans.

Jones' next defense is scheduled for Sept. 1 against Dan Henderson.

agreed

Jon Jones is rich and his brother is also rich....no excuse to not have a cab or DD....or in their case a limo driver.


i think DUI's are one of the biggest problems in our country because 2/3 of the people who get them don't learn their lesson...a lot of my friends got DUI's in college.  shit's sad.
