UFC champ Jon Jones pleads guilty to DWI, avoids jail time as part of sentence

UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will not be sentenced to jail for his latest arrest.

According to a report from TMZ, Jones has pleaded guilty to a DWI charge, stemming from his March 26th arrest in New Mexico. Part of that deal includes dropping the other charges: negligent use of a firearm, driving without proof of insurance, and possession of an open container.

As for his punishment, it’s not particularly heavy. He’ll be under supervised probation for one-year, as well as “96 hours in a community custody program — which is a form of incarceration, but not in a traditional jail cell,” something similar to house arrest.
