UFC’s Jon Jones guilty of misdemeanor in Vegas property case

LAS VEGAS — Former UFC champion Jon Jones has taken a plea deal to resolve a criminal case stemming from allegations that he scuffled with his fiancée and damaged a Las Vegas police vehicle at Caesars Palace almost eight weeks ago. Jones’ attorney, Peter Christiansen, declined to comment Thursday on Jones’ no contest plea on Tuesday to a misdemeanor property damage charge. A Las Vegas judge ordered Jones to pay $750 in restitution and attend anger management classes. Jones was arrested before dawn on Sept. 24 on misdemeanor domestic battery and felony damaging a vehicle charges after allegedly grabbing his fiancée by her hair and smashing his own head on the hood of a police patrol vehicle.
