ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — UFC light heavyweight champion Jon "Bones" Jones has made his first court appearance in connection with a hit-and-run that police say left a pregnant woman with a broken arm.
Jones appeared in an Albuquerque court with his lawyer Tuesday and left without speaking to reporters. He is facing a felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident involving death or personal injuries.
Jones was released Monday on a $2,500 bond.
A judge did not impose travel restrictions on Jones.
According to police, witnesses said that Jones ran from a crash Sunday that hospitalized a pregnant woman but quickly came back to grab "a large handful of cash" from the car.
Authorities say the accident occurred in southeastern Albuquerque when the driver of a rented SUV ran a red light.
