Light-heavyweight champion Jon Jones crashed his car into a pole when he was driving while intoxicated early Saturday in Binghamton, N.Y., law enforcement officials said.
He was charged with DWI after 5 a.m. ET, Binghamton police said. Jones was driving a 2012 Bentley that struck a telephone pole at the intersection of Grand Boulevard and Helen Street in Binghamton, said Sgt. Christopher Lason.
No other vehicles involved in the accident, said Lason, who declined to comment on whether there were passengers in the vehicle.
The Bentley's air bag deployed and Jones suffered a bloody nose, Lason said. The car was totaled, he said.
Jones was released after being issued a ticket to appear in court at a later date, the sheriff's department said. (Source)
