Jones accused of assault, threatening to kill drug tester

UFC heavyweight champion Jon Jones is accused of assaulting and threatening to kill a Drug Free Sport International worker during a sample collection at his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on March 30, according to an incident report obtained by theScore on Saturday.

The worker filed a report with the Albuquerque Police Department on Friday and said she wanted to pursue charges.

According to the incident report, the worker said Jones also took her phone and smelled like alcohol. The report indicates that a summons will be issued to Jones, citing the two offenses of assault and interference with communications.

Jones denied the allegations in an Instagram post.

The worker said she and a co-worker arrived at Jones' home at approximately 4:00 p.m. local time to conduct a urine test. The worker said Jones was cooperative at first but struggled to provide a sample and appeared agitated after the worker suggested they conduct a blood test instead. The worker said Jones threatened to sue them both, picked up the worker's phone, and began recording them on video. Per the incident report, the responding officer watched the video.

The worker said Jones put her phone in his pocket and that she asked for it back. The worker said Jones then "got in her face" and said, "Why you f-----g people come so early? Do you know what happens to people who come to my house? They end up dead."

The worker said she was "terrified" and wanted to end the drug test prematurely. But she said she was afraid Jones might "hit her" if she did due to potential repercussions he would face for missing a test.

The worker said Jones later agreed to take the urine test. Jones placed her phone on a counter and she retrieved it.

After leaving Jones' home, the worker said she filed an internal report with Drug Free Sport International. She said her boss asked her not to file a police report until UFC representatives spoke with her.

In his social media post, Jones said the worker "breached standard protocol" and privacy laws. Jones said he "used profanity out of frustration" due to the worker's "unprofessionalism," but that the interaction ended "friendly and amicably."

"Nothing threatening at all," Jones wrote.

The UFC did not provide a statement when reached by MMA Junkie's Nolan King.
