UFC SuperstarJon Jones Arrested For DWI & Gun Charge In New Mexico

Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports

UFC superstar Jon Jones was arrested on Thursday morning for DWI and gun charges in New Mexico...

quote:
Cops say they responded to reports of gunfire in Albuquerque at around 1 AM -- and when they arrived at the scene, they found Jones inside a 2019 Jeep with the engine running and the car in park.

Jon denied firing a gun -- but officers say he appeared intoxicated (bloodshot, watery eyes and reeked of booze) and conducted a field sobriety test, which he allegedly bombed.

He also took a breathalyzer, twice, and registered over the legal limit both times.

During a subsequent search of the vehicle, cops say they found a black handgun and a half-empty bottle of tequila behind the passenger seat.

Probably the greatest MMA fighter of all time and can't get out of his own way. I'm afraid he has some serious substance abuse issues.

Now it’s clear to you?

I almost feel bad for the guy. He has it all and I'd consider one of the GOATs but he just refuses and can't get his life in order no matter what. With his kind of money, he should afford a permanent driver. Get as wasted as you want to when you're not training but damn, it might be over for him.

I don't feel bad for him one bit. He has gotten so many second chances to get his shite together. The guy hit a pregnant lady in a car crash and ran off.
