“I want to respond to the reports about me threatening a drug tester's life and taking his phone, I want to clarify that there is a video showing both testers leaving my house after the testing session, where we said a loud goodbye and a hug . Although I was frustrated with the unprofessionalism and used profanity out of frustration, it ended up friendly and friendly, not threatening at all. I was actually celebrating a friend's birthday party at my house, and I believe it's perfectly fine to celebrate in the comfort of my own home. I must say, this particular tester behaved unprofessionally and even violated standard protocol along with HIPAA laws. In my 20 years of being drug tested, I have never encountered such an incident with a DCO officer before,” he wrote. Jon Jones on his official Instagram.
