A police report has emerged with new details about the three car crash in Albuquerque involving UFC light heavyweight champion and top ranked pound for pound fighter in the world, Jon Jones. The full police report was released to MMAJunkie.com earlier today.

According to the police report, Jones was driving a rental car, a Buick SUV, with marijuana and a pipe on hand when he ran a red light causing the crash. Documents inside the vehicle were found identifying “Jonathan Jones” that contained “MMA information” of them.

The crash involved a pregnant woman who suffered a broken arm which has forced police to issue a warrant for the arrest of Jones with the charge of “Leaving the scene of an accident involving death or personal injuries.”

After causing the accident, an off duty officer witnessed Jones exiting his vehicle to run up a hill and escape the scene. Jones would then slouch over and run back to his rental vehicle “grabbing a large handful of cash.” He then proceeded to shave the wad of cash down his pants before jumping a fence and fleeing the scene for good.

According to the Albuquerque Police Department, arrangements are in place for the accused to turn himself in.

As of this moment, Jones is still scheduled to defend his world title against Anthony Johnson next month in Las Vegas in the main event of UFC 187. The UFC released a statement earlier this morning saying that they are aware of the situation and “will reserve further comment until more information is available.”
