VIDEO: Bodycam Footage Released of Jon Jones' DWI Arrest
By Michael Luciano
UFC legend Jon Jones once again found himself in trouble with law enforcement, as he was arrested for driving while intoxicated and improper use of a firearm Thursday night. The police bodycam footage of Jones' arrest has been made public, and it shows the cops questioning, handcuffing, and arresting the legendary fighter.
Jones claims that he got "stir crazy" and needed to go for a drive after not leaving his house for two weeks. He was stopped by police after interacting with a group of homeless people on the street.
After he failed a few basic speech tests, a clearly emotional Jones was handcuffed and placed under arrest. Jones is no stranger to run-ins with the law, as his pattern of reckless behavior has led to him getting in trouble as recently as last September, when he pleaded no contest to battery against a waitress at a strip club.
Statistically, Jones is probably the greatest fighter UFC has ever seen, but legions of fans aren't ready to call him the GOAT due to his behavior outside of the octagon.
