Shocking Jon Jones bodycam footage shows UFC star threatening cop

The Albuquerque Police Department released bodycam footage from the scene of a February accident that they allege UFC star Jon Jones fled and then threatened a public safety aide over the phone.

The footage, obtained by the Albuquerque Journal, is related to the criminal complaint accusing Jones of leaving the scene of the crash involving an unnamed woman, which was filed last Tuesday in Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court.

An Albuquerque police officer responded to a traffic incident and discovered a woman in the front passenger seat of one of the cars “exhibiting signs of significant intoxication and lacking clothing from the waist down,” the complaint stated, per the Albuquerque Journal.

The woman told the officer that Jones “was the one driving” her car and handed him the phone to speak with Jones.

Police said Jones, “the fighter,” threatened a safety aide over the phone, according to the outlet.

Jones wouldn’t answer questions about his identity from the officer, and it’s unclear exactly what was said.

The officer was heard saying Jones was “making threats” over the phone.

He “appeared to be heavily intoxicated and made statements implying his capacity to employ lethal force through third parties” to the public safety aide, the court record stated.

“My car is wrecked,” the woman added.

According to the Albuquerque Journal, Jones said during an interview with police days after the incident that the woman had left his house earlier in the day intoxicated and called him after getting in the crash.

Jones added that the person the woman handed the phone to “immediately opened the conversations with unprofessional language, which led him to doubt the legitimacy of the individual’s claim.”

The star fighter, who confirmed his retirement Saturday at the age of 37, has been charged with misdemeanor fleeing the scene of an accident, and his bond arraignment hearing is set for July 24.

Jones’ attorney denied his client was driving the car, according to the Albuquerque Journal.

It’s unclear if the situation is linked to Jones’ retirement.

UFC president Dana White did not mention the legal matter when he revealed Jones’ retirement during a press conference Saturday, saying that Tom Aspinall is the new heavyweight champion.
