I actually do think the case can be beaten in court, I think those cops are pretty incompetent and probably didn't cross their T'sIts not his responsibility to prove JJ innocent. He is innocent till proven guilty and this seems to be a pretty weak case against him
So he is innocent thenI actually do think the case can be beaten in court, I think those cops are pretty incompetent and probably didn't cross their T's
of course we don't know the complete picture yet, could be some details that we are missing that are indefensible
Of course we know he did all those things and is a mess, but proving it in court is a different ballgame.
and let us not forget he may have access to a UFC selected God Level DUI defense attorney...probably has like a 95% rate of getting DWI's tossed out in court
He was pulsing from the last time he was arrested brah.Ok I just read the entire article. Here are my thoughts:
1. There is zero proof that Jon Jones was driving while intoxicated. When he submitted a breathalyzer, he had not been driving his car. For all we know Jon was drinking responsibly.
2. We also have no proof that Jon fired his gun. How many gun owners are there in AZ? I suspect millions. Let's wait to see the results of a ballistics report but as of now Jon is also in the clear on this charge.
3. The no insurance thing is a traffic citation and not a criminal charge. That will be wiped from his driving record when he provides proof of insurance to the clerk of courts office.
4. So far all we've got is an allegation of an open container, but we don't know if Jon was drinking it. We know that Jon was NOT driving when police stopped him, but do we know how many people were with him? It is quite possible that the open container, if there even was one, could have belonged to one of Jon's friends. I'm not sure what the AZ open container law is. In Mississippi for instance an open container is allowed if a passenger is drinking it.
Definitely too early to say anything, but I have a strong feeling that all charges will be dismissed in short order.

I think he has a good chance to get the Felonies dismissed.So he is innocent then
The dui will absolutely stick. He can fight with the dmv in separate a case if he wants to make an argument and save his license from being suspended or revoked. Being drunk and sitting in your driver's seat, even with your keys in your pocket can get you a dui. In the driver's seat with keys in the ignition (claiming you just wanted to listen to music)? Dui. In the driver seat with the car running? Slam dunk case for dui.@HEATH VON DOOM
changed my mind
didn't know the car was running with him in it
that one will stick I reckon

Jon has been fucking up for a really long time, not just late in his career. He was drunk when he wrecked his bentley and that was like 10 years ago.seems like CTE strikes again a lot of mma fighters seem to get in legal trouble late in their career . a lot of d.u.i in mma too bj penn just got one.
jones was driving drunk and doing something crazy with a gun lol
"a bottle of Recuerdo behind the passenger’s seat."
masvidal must have gave him a box
I doubt it since this isn't a murder investigation, but who knows?Sounds about right
The gun will be interesting
it was under driver's seat
Wonder if they tested for GSR on his and his passengers hands?
He said he had driven and was planning on driving some more.

Yeah, he's in fucksville. 1/4 - 1/2 empty bottle of liquor withing reaching distance, being at or over 2x the legal limit, sitting in the driver's seat with engine running and door closed, admitting to driving earlier with the intent to drive more...Statements from the arresting officers

On 3-26-20 at about (12:58 a.m.), I was at 3rd and Central in the parking lot. I heard a single gun shot to the west on Central. I drove west on Central and observed a black Jeep on the south side of the street parked in front of 312 Central. I observed a male in the driver’s seat and a subject on the sidewalk by the passenger side door. I observed no other subjects in the area. I pulled up behind the vehicle and turned on my overhead lights. The vehicle was running. I contacted the driver and asked him to roll down the vehicle windows. I observed an open bottle of alcohol on the floor behind the passenger seat. It was a 1/4 full bottle of Recuerdo, 40 percent alcohol. I asked the driver to hand me the bottle. I also observed that he had green leafy substance on his shirt and pants, consistent with marijuana. I identified the driver as Jonathan Jones. I asked Jones about the gun shot and he stated he did not know. I asked him why he was out and he stated he wanted to go for a drive. I asked him for his vehicle registration and proof of insurance. Jones fumbled with his documents and was not able to locate proof of current insurance. I also observed that Jones had an odor of alcohol coming from his facial area. I requested the assistance of a DWI officer. Officer (Brian) Johnson was working a DWI saturation patrol and responded to my request. After Officer Johnson completed his investigation, he placed Jones under arrest for DWI. I had the vehicle towed from the scene. During an inventory of the vehicle subject to arrest and tow I located a loaded handgun under the drivers seat. I also located a spent round just outside the drivers side door. The spent round was the same caliber as the firearm that was located. A video of my investigation will be uploaded to APD evidence. The handgun was tagged into APD evidence.

On 03/26/20 at (1:01 a.m.), Officer Brown and Officer Heshley heard a gun shot in the 3rd St. NW/Central Ave. NW area. Officers arrived on scene approximately 10-15 seconds later. Officer Brown noticed a black 2019 Jeep vehicle parked facing eastbound in front of 312 Central Ave. SW. Officers noticed a black 2019 Jeep vehicle and two unknown homeless subjects. The vehicle engine was on and the vehicle was in park. Officer Brown engaged his emergency equipment and conducted a traffic stop. He made contact with the black 2019 Jeep vehicle driver Jonathan Jones. Officer Brown asked him about the gun shot and Jonathan said he didn’t know anything. Officer Brown observed signs of intoxication and asked for a DWI saturation unit. I was working DWI saturation and was dispatched to the traffic stop. I made contact with Jonathan Jones. I observed that he had bloodshot, watery eyes and a strong odor of alcohol coming from his facial region. He admitted to driving earlier and had the intention to drive now. I asked him to exit the vehicle. Jonathan did field sobriety tests and performed poorly on all three of them. He also performed poorly on two out of three alternative tests. He was searched and arrested. He was transported to the (Prisoner Transport Center) where he was read the N.M. implied consent advisory and given the Intoxilyzer 8000 breath test. He was given a deprivation period from (1:02 a.m.) until (1:48 a.m.). Prior to administration of the aforementioned breath test, his mouth was checked at (1:02 a.m.) and found to be clear of any foreign objects. Test results were at or above twice the legal limit. He was checked through (Motor Vehicle Department) and found to have one prior DWI arrest. During the tow inventory of the vehicle, a black handgun was found underneath the driver seat. A 1/2 empty bottle of Recuerdo 750ml was found behind the passenger side of the vehicle. The handgun was tagged into evidence. Jonathan was unable to provide the vehicle’s valid insurance paperwork. He was booked on the listed charges. His vehicle was towed. A copy of the lapel camera was tagged into evidence.
Jones is no longer is in custody and will have a bond arraignment hearing on April 8.
you would think with all his trouble that he would have learned rule #1...Yeah, he's in fucksville. 1/4 - 1/2 empty bottle of liquor withing reaching distance, being at or over 2x the legal limit, sitting in the driver's seat with engine running and door closed, admitting to driving earlier with the intent to drive more...
not to mention the passenger being outside the vehicle makes the gun charge stronger...and a spent casing on the ground right by the carYeah, he's in fucksville. 1/4 - 1/2 empty bottle of liquor withing reaching distance, being at or over 2x the legal limit, sitting in the driver's seat with engine running and door closed, admitting to driving earlier with the intent to drive more...
They framed Jon boy again?
How is this still legal in America?
