Jon Jones Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones will not go before a grand jury on an alleged hit-and-run just yet, but prosecutors expect to move forward on his case. The prosecutor in charge of the ex-titleholder’s case lacks two key pieces of evidence to move forward: medical records for the accident’s alleged victim and dispatch reports from the Albuquerque Police Department, according to the public information officer for the Bernalillo County (N.M.) District Attorney. While a 60-day deadline to move forward on Jones’ case expires today, the prosecutor can still pursue charges against him. If the prosecutor’s office had met the deadline, the case would have gone before a grand jury, which would then decide whether or not to indict him and proceed with a criminal trial. “Proceeding on a case without complete discovery could result in the likely dismissal of the case altogether,” wrote district attorney PIO Kayla Anderson in an email to MMAjunkie. “We have requested both pieces of outstanding evidence and anticipate moving forward when we have a completed case investigation.” Jones, 27, faces a felony charge of leaving the scene of an accident involving death or serious injury after he was identified at the scene of an April 27 accident that reportedly left a 25-year-old pregnant woman with a broken arm
