According to the report, the waitress alleges that she had been serving Jones, and his brother Chandler. The pair wanted a table dance, which she explained was not allowed as she was a waitress. Despite this, allegedly pulled her into his lap, kissing her.
On top of that, the waitress claims that when she went to get them more drinks, Jones came up behind her. Then, she says Jones put her in a “tight rear-naked choke hold.” Additionally, when she escaped, Jones “picked [her] up off the ground and turned her around in the air and was roughhousing with her.”
Following this, the waitress then alleges that Jones “placed her down by the bar and slapped her p***y.” Subsequently, she explained that this was not allowed, and “if he was going to smack her, he need [sic] to pay her $100 which she told Jon Jones approximately two times.”
According to the report, she referred to Jones with the police, as a “a f*cking piece of sh*t.”
Despite these allegations, Jon Jones maintains his innocence. This is a misdemeanor charge, which should not interfere with Jones’s fighting career.
