Shocking footage emerges of 'drunk' UFC star Jon Jones allegedly making 'threats' to cop
Police body cam footage appears to show Jon Jones allegedly threatening cops in the aftermath of a car 'wreck' that has landed the UFC legend in fresh legal trouble. Less than 24 hours after Jones confirmed his retirement, it emerged that the 37-year-old is facing a misdemeanor charge for fleeing the scene of an accident. The crash occurred in Albuquerque, New Mexico in February and now video footage has emerged of police interviewing a woman about the incident. The woman in the clip claims Jones was the driver of the car and that he had run away from the scene. The woman then hands over her phone, claiming that the UFC legend is on the other end of the line. The man then appears to make a series of disturbing comments to the officer, he said: 'My brothers, they kill people for way less. They slit throats, they're the most evil people you'll ever meet... guess what? You won't be the first guy this year [inaudible]... you'll be the second one.' The cop asks if he is speaking to Jones but the man refuses to reveal his identity. He then tells a fellow officer: 'I just got threatened over the phone... he said: "I know some people that can hurt you."' A police service aide (PSA) said that the unidentified man 'appeared to be heavily intoxicated and made statements implying his capacity to employ lethal force through third parties.' The cop appears to say it 'sounded just exactly like' Jones and that the woman 'confirmed' his identity. Later on in the footage, another phone call can be heard, with the man appearing to claim that the government listens to phone calls. The woman shouted at the man on the phone: 'Dude, I don't know what the f*** you're talking about, my car is wrecked!' A criminal summons against the UFC star was filed in Albuquerque Metropolitan Court on Tuesday. Jones has been called to appear in court on July 24 for a bond arraignment. However, on Monday an attorney for Jones accused Albuquerque, New Mexico police of improperly charging his client. Speaking to TMZ, attorney Christopher Dodd said: 'It is truly unbelievable that the police would waste this amount of resources on such a case. 'The only thing I can think of is that the police were targeting Jon for improper purposes. We will get to the bottom of it and make sure that this baseless case is dismissed.' Dodd continued: 'In the thousands of cases I have handled in my career, I have never seen a case as strange and unwarranted as this one.' According to a police report, obtained by an officer was investigating the accident when they discovered a woman in the passenger seat of one of the vehicles. She was reportedly 'exhibiting signs of significant intoxication and lacking clothing from the waist down.' The woman told police that she had arrived at Jones' house at around 11:30pm on February 20. She admitted that she drank alcohol and consumed mushrooms at the property. The woman claimed to recall needing to change her clothes after a 'restroom incident' and removed her pants with the intention of having Jones drive her home to collect a change of attire. However, her memory was hazy as she claimed that 'her next recollection was being at the scene of a traffic accident' and that the last person she remembered driving the car was Jones. Jones is said to have called the woman's phone a total of 13 times from around the time of the accident to the following morning. However the UFC legend was later interviewed in person, during which he allegedly claimed that the woman had left his home intoxicated earlier in the day. He said that she had called him after getting into the crash, and 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.' His attorney continued: 'Jon was not driving that night; he wasn't in the car. 'It appears that an intoxicated woman used a false allegation against Jon to avoid being arrested for DWI, and the police fell for it. 'Based on the criminal complaint, it looks like they went so far as to seek a warrant for Jon's cell phone records while conducting a misdemeanor traffic investigation. I have never heard of such a thing. 'It is truly unbelievable that the police would waste this amount of resources on such a case. The only thing I can think of is that the police were targeting Jon for improper purposes. We will get to the bottom of it and make sure that this baseless case is dismissed.'

Terrelle Pryor, a former Pittsburgh-area football star who played in the NFL, faces potential legal trouble over his involvement in a near-fatal car crash on East Carson Street in Pittsburgh's South Side Flats. (Photo: Jacob Dumont/NAN Media) There were three people in that vehicle at the time. Two were taken to the hospital with broken legs and one was in critical condition but has since been released and is recovering. According to police sources, Pryor, who was not seriously injured, passed a field sobriety test but later refused to take a breathalyzer test. An incident report shows police have recommended a number of charges, including failure to stop at a red light, aggravated assault by vehicle and reckless driving. The case has been referred to the district attorney's office. On Wednesday, Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala declined comment, but his office confirmed the incident is under review. Pryor has had several run-ins with the law Since his days as a national standout at Jeannette High School, Pryor's career has been marked by highs and lows. A star at Ohio State, he withdrew from the university after being accused of selling memorabilia. He played for nine different teams in the NFL but observers say he never reached his full potential. Since football, he's had several run-ins with the law, including pleading guilty to criminal mischief in connection with a domestic dispute in 2021. Prior to that, he and his girlfriend pleaded guilty in a stabbing incident, for which he received probation for harassment. KDKA-TV reached out to Pryor's attorney about the South Side Flats crash but he didn't return any phone calls.
