Jon Jones’ bench trial for battery case scheduled in September

Jon Jones is headed back to court for a bench trial regarding the misdemeanor battery charges he’s facing from an incident that took place at a strip club in April.

The bench trial is scheduled for Sept. 26, according to court records obtained by MMA Fighting on Monday.

Jones faces misdemeanor battery charges after a waitress from TD’s Eubanks Showclub accused the UFC fighter of touching her inappropriately, putting her in a chokehold and grabbed her several times while he was at the club.

A new video released by KRQE in Albuquerque on Monday shows the victim in the case explaining what happened when speaking to police officers who arrived at her apartment to take her statement.
