UFC star, Jon Jones, got into a heated exchange in New Mexico last week when he was pulled over by a police officer. Jones was pulled over while driving his Corvette on suspicion of drag racing Thursday night.
It didn’t take long for things to get interesting as the exchange was heated from the beginning with the officer making it clear he was not happy. “You’re despicable,” Jones said to the officer, who retorted with, “I feel the same way about you, sir.”
Keep in mind that Jones is currently on probation from a hit and run conviction. Since the encounter, Jones has released a statement saying:
I was not drag racing nor was I speeding. I did not get a speeding ticket. I was driving within the speed limit of the 35mph zone. I feel that police used a technicality to ticket me for drag racing, for simply revving my engine and acknowledging some of my local fans. I regrettably said words to the police officer out of frustration, for which I apologize for, but I do feel this was excessive.”
UFC also released a statement:
We are aware of the situation and are looking into the matter. We’ve also been in touch with Jon’s team regarding the matter.”
