On Tuesday he also marked an appearance at the bank trial scheduled for the professional martial artist, but New Mexico’s state presented a Nolle Prosequi, which formally dismissed the case.

Jones’ lawyer, Christopher A. Dodd, suggested that the dismissal responded to his long -standing belief in his client’s innocence.
“We have been completely claimed. From the beginning, we explained that a woman made a false accusation against Jon in an effort to avoid being arrested by DWI, and unfortunately, the police accepted that the claim without properly weighing the facts. Once the relevant documents were finally revealed by the police department, the records of Jon cell phones made clear the time of the office of the office of the office.

Dodd added that his office continues to review the conduct of the Albuquerque Police Department that led and immediately after Jones arrest.
“At the same time, it is deeply worrying that such critical evidence was not taken into account, which forced Jon to endure this terrible experience unnecessarily. Our research on how this happened is still ongoing.”

A woman involved in a vehicle accident in February said Jones was driving one of the cars connected to the incident and claimed that she left the scene after the accident. The police officer who responded said the woman showed signs of “significant poisoning.”

At that time, Dodd vehemently denied the statement that Jones was driving a vehicle during the night in question.
“Jon did not drive that night; he wasn’t in the car,” Dodd said in a statement in June. “It seems that an intoxicated woman used a false accusation against Jon to avoid being arrested by DWI, and the police fell in love with her. According to the criminal complaint, they seem to go so far as to find an order of Jon’s cell phone records while conducting a minor traffic investigation. I have never heard of such a thing.”
Jones retired from professional competence in June. He made the decision after competing in moderation since 2020. Jones had the undisputed title of the UFC at the time he moved away. Despite the retirement, Jones has made movements suggesting that he could fight again in 2026.
