"We have been fully vindicated. From the very beginning, we explained that a woman made a false allegation against Jon in an effort to avoid being arrested for DWI, and unfortunately, the police accepted that claim without properly weighing the facts."
"Once the relevant documents were finally disclosed by the police department, Jon's cell phone records made it undeniably clear that he was nowhere near the scene of the crash. We are grateful that the district attorney's office took the time to conduct a full and fair review of this case, which ultimately confirmed Jon's innocence. At the same time, it is deeply troubling that such critical evidence was disregarded, forcing Jon to endure this ordeal unnecessarily. Our investigation into how this occurred remains ongoing."
"I want to begin by thanking the district attorney's office for carefully reviewing the facts and ultimately vindicating me completely. I have always believed in the importance of truth and fairness, and I am grateful that the evidence spoke for itself."
Criminal charges against Jon Jones stemming from a February incident were dropped after dismissal paperwork was filed. Authorities had accused Jones of fleeing the scene following a crash in which a woman in the passenger seat allegedly identified him as the driver. Police initially accepted the woman's claim and a phone exchange included remarks that could be seen as threatening. Jones's lawyer provided cell phone records proving he was not near the crash, prompting the district attorney to dismiss the case. Jones publicly thanked the district attorney, asserted his innocence, and legal representatives said an investigation is ongoing into why evidence was disregarded.
