UFC light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones will avoid jail time after being arrested on a Driving While Intoxicated charge on May 19 in New York.
Jones was issued a $1,000 fine by a judge in Binghamton, N.Y., on Tuesday and had his driver’s license suspended for six months. The 24-year-old also must complete a victim-impact panel and have ignition interlocks installed on his vehicles.
Blessed to still have the full support of Broom County/ all my fans and my DWI case officially behind me. Moving forward

Jones crashed his 2012 Bentley into a utility pole on May 19 after a night of partying, but sustained no injuries. He is set to defend his title against former Pride and Strikeforce champion Dan Henderson in the main event of UFC 151 on Sept. 1 in Las Vegas.
