The Bernalillo County district attorney's office dropped all charges against Jon Jones, citing reason to believe his alibi defense is credible. Charges stemmed from a Feb. 21 car accident in Albuquerque after police responded to a half-naked woman in the vehicle who alleged Jones had been driving and left. Bodycam footage showed the woman later called a man she said was Jones, who then made verbal threats to the officer on scene. Charges were filed twice due to a clerical error, resulting in multiple cases being dismissed. Jones posted on X thanking the DA and asserting he never left his house that night.
The Bernalillo County district attorney's office in New Mexico on Tuesday dropped all charges against Jones, citing it has "reason to believe the defendant's alibi defense is credible."
"I want to begin by thanking the district attorney's office for carefully reviewing the facts and ultimately vindicating me completely," Jones wrote on X on Tuesday. "I have always believed in the importance of truth and fairness, and I am grateful that the evidence spoke for itself. The simple fact is this: I was never there. I never even left my house that night, and all the evidence proved that."
In one unusual detail, the charges were actually filed against Jones twice due to a "clerical error," which resulted in multiple cases being dismissed regarding one incident.
