ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Officials say champion UFC fighter Jon Jones has turned himself into authorities in connection with a hit-and-run crash.
Bernalillo County says that Jones was booked into the Metropolitan Detention Center Monday night and later released.
An arrest warrant signed by police says Jones faces a felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident involving death or personal injuries.
According to police, witnesses said that Jones ran from a crash Sunday that hospitalized a pregnant woman but quickly came back to grab "a large handful of cash" from the car.
Authorities say the accident occurred in southeastern Albuquerque just before noon when the driver of a rented SUV ran a red light.
