Last March, Jon Jones was involved in an incident with drug-testing agent Crystal Martinez after she visited Jones’ home to collect urine samples. The UFC Heavyweight Champion was then charged with assault and interference with communications.
Jones reached a preadjudication agreement with Martinez to dismiss the charges. On Tuesday, Judge Asra Elliott approved the agreement under two conditions. The charges will be dropped if Jones avoids any legal problems for the next 90 days and completes a four-hour anger management course.
Christopher Dodd, attorney for Jon Jones, agreed to appear in court in three months to confirm his clearance from two misdemeanor charges.
Jones issued the following statement:
“I would like to extend my thanks to the justice system for reaching a prompt resolution in this matter, which affirms my innocence and enables me to maintain my focus on the upcoming fight. I am eagerly anticipating the opportunity to defend my heavyweight title on November 16th at Madison Square Garden.”
