UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones today made his first appearance in court since an alleged hit-and-run incident and did not enter a plea.

Jones, represented by lawyer Vincent Ward, attended Bernalillo County (N.M.) Metropolitan Court for a felony first appearance to determine whether there was probable cause to arrest him. Ward did not argue with the judge against probable cause, but asked for a travel restriction to be lifted on a $2,500 bond Jones posted Monday.

The judge agreed, lifting the travel restriction and continuing the bond. However, the judge imposed on Jones the standard conditions for release, meaning he is free of custody but must stay away from alcohol and drugs, refrain from breaking state laws, and remain in contact with his lawyer, Bernalillo County court spokesperson Camille Cordova today told MMAjunkie.

Jones, who allegedly fled the scene of a hit-and-run Sunday in Albuquerque, is accused of leaving the scene of an accident involving death or personal injuries, a felony charge with a penalty of up to three years in prison. A 25-year-old pregnant woman whose car Jones struck suffered a fractured arm and wrist, which elevated the charge from a misdemeanor.

Jones (21-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC) currently scheduled to face Anthony Johnson (19-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) for his ninth attempted title defense at UFC 187, which takes place May 23 at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena.

The Bernadillo County District Attorney’s office has 60 days to decide whether or not to pursue charges against Jones, 27. If it decides to move forward, a public relations rep for the office told MMAjunkie, a grand jury hearing will be convened to decide whether or not to issue an indictment. At that point, Jones would be required to make a plea.
