UFC Champ Jon Jones Receives House Arrest, Probation After Pleading Guilty to DWI

Jon Jones has managed to avoid jail time after pleading guilty to a DWI charge on March 26 in Albuquerque, N.M.

The UFC light heavyweight champion struck a plea deal with prosecutors in which he will serve 96 hours in a community custody program, which is a form of incarceration similar to house arrest. Jones will wear an ankle monitor as part of the terms of the program, which will alert authorities if he leaves his home without permission. Jones also agreed to one-year supervised probation. TMZ Sports was first to report the news.
