We have a new update to the Jon Jones situation in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as the Albuquerque police department has issued a press release on the situation officially naming him as possibly being involved in a hit and run this morning.

They are still hoping to speak with him about his possible involvement in the accident, which we now know sent a pregnant female in her 20s to the hospital with minor injuries. Here's the full release from the Albuquerque PD:

"The Albuquerque Police Department is actively seeking UFC Fighter Jon Jones for questioning in regards to his possible involvement in a hit-and-run accident, near the intersection of Juan Tabo and Southern, in Southeast Albuquerque early this morning, April 26, 2015.

A pregnant female in her 20s, who was the driver of a separate vehicle, was taken to a local hospital for minor injuries.

Officers attempted to contact Mr. Jones at his residence Sunday evening, but were unsuccessful. We have also reached out to his lawyer, but as of now, have not heard back.

The Albuquerque Police Department is asking Mr. Jones to please contact us as we continue to investigate by calling (505) 242-COPS (2677).

More information will be provided when it becomes available."



UPDATE 11:30PM ET - The UFC has released a statement on the situation, which you can read below:

"We are aware that the Albuquerque Police Department is interested in speaking to Jon Jones regarding his possible involvement in a motor vehicle accident. We are in the process of gathering facts and will reserve further comment until more information is available."
