The allegations against Jon Jones
According to a police report obtained by Uncrowned, an Albuquerque police officer was reportedly investigating a traffic crash on Feb. 21 in which a woman was found in the passenger seat of a car "exhibiting signs of significant intoxication and lacking clothing from the waste down."
The woman told police that Jones was the driver of the car and fled the scene on foot. She then called Jones and a police service aide spoke to the man on the other line, believed to be Jones. That man allegedly "appeared to be heavily intoxicated and made statements implying his capacity to employ lethal force through third parties" against the aide.
In response to the perceived threat, the aide stated they called for backup and a police officer spoke to the man on the phone, who allegedly made similar "allusions to violence." The man never answered direct questions about whether he was actually Jones.

When police interviewed him in person, Jones allegedly claimed the woman left his house intoxicated earlier in the day and called him after getting in the crash. He claimed the person she handed the phone to "immediately opened the conversations with unprofessional language, which led him to doubt the legitimacy of the individual's claim."
According to the police report, the woman told police that she arrived at Jones' residence at 11:30 p.m. and initially "expressed reservations about consuming alcohol with Mr. Jones, citing previous incidents where she alleged he forced her to drive home while intoxicated. She stated that she received assurances that this would not be the case this time, and subsequently consumed alcohol and ingested psilocybin mushrooms" at Jones' house. Per the police report, following "a restroom incident requiring a change of clothing," the woman then "removed her pants with the intention of having Mr. Jones drive her home to retrieve clothing." Her next recollection was being at the scene of the traffic accident and the last person she remembered driving the car was Jones. Jones also reportedly called the woman's phone 13 times and texted her "numerous times" from the time after the crash to the following morning.
