Jon Jones looks to have dodged jail time for his hit and run earlier this year, Jones appeared in front of the New Mexico Second District Court and pleaded guilty to his charges.

“I want to apologize to Ms. Sonnenberg’s team, all the officers who were involved that day, all the people who support me who I’ve embarrassed, my family, my supporters, mainly Vanessa Sonnenberg and her family for all the heartache I must have put them through,” Jones said.

“I am here to accept full responsibility for what happened, for my actions, and I’m just really hoping you guys can give me the opportunity to redeem myself.”

Jones was sentenced with probation that could be anywhere up to 18 months and was also sentenced to make 72 appearances at children’s clubs as well as schools in Bernalillo County, New Mexico.
