When Jon Jones banged his head on a police car
Jon Jones was arrested in Las Vegas in September of 2021 on charges of battery, domestic violence and injuring or tampering with a vehicle. Incidentally, the arrest happened to be the same night that 'Jonny Bones' was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.
According to reports, the Las Vegas Police department received a call from the Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino stating that a white female adult was bleeding from her nose and mouth. The woman was later found to be Jones' fiance Jessie Moses.
As the police tried to take him away, a clearly intoxicated Jones kicked up a storm. Repeatedly accusing the officers of ruining his night, the former UFC light-heavyweight champion even asked for the identities of the officers.
Despite them obliging, Jones suddenly lost control and started banging his head on the hood of the police vehicle following which he was immediately led away.
