UFC light heavyweight Quinton Jackson, who was arrested on Tuesday after an alleged hit-and-run accident and subsequent police chase, has posted bail and left the Orange County jail.
The Costa Mesa Police Department confirmed the news with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) this morning.
After being arrested for felony evading, hit-and-run and reckless driving, Jackson posted bail, which had been set at $25,000, overnight.
Jackson allegedly hit multiple cars during a short police chase Tuesday afternoon. He eventually pulled over and surrendered to police after traveling from Costa Mesa to Newport Beach in California. No injuries were reported.
According to a press release from the Costa Mesa Police Department, Jackson ignored an officer's directions to pull over and continued "weaving in and out of traffic" while forcing "pedestrians to flee for their lives" as he continued "running several red lights."
Police initially told MMAjunkie.com that neither drugs nor alcohol were suspected to have played a role in the incident.
UFC president Dana White arrived in California on Tuesday via private plane, presumably to post bail for Jackson.
