Priceville Mayor Sam Heflin tells TMZ ... he can confirm that a Priceville PD officer named Garry Chapman has been placed on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of an investigation -- standard procedure for a situation like this.

Jay Cutler's legal troubles are piling up because the ex-NFL quarterback has been hit with a lawsuit over his 2024 DUI crash ... days after a judge sentenced him to four days behind bars.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, Perry Lee -- the driver Cutler rear-ended last October -- filed suit in Tennessee on Tuesday, claiming the former Chicago Bears star was "at fault for the collision." Lee's filing claims Cutler was tailgating, not paying attention, and failed to use "reasonable and due care" while allegedly intoxicated.

Lee says the wreck left him with mounting medical bills, physical and mental suffering, and a diminished quality of life. Lee's attorneys John Morgan and Sydney Pierce tell TMZ, "Our client is a veteran who was injured in a car crash due to the alleged negligence of another driver ... His injuries cause him daily pain and have eroded his quality of life. We are seeking justice so he can get the care he needs."

1:24 PM PT -- Jon Jones addressed the news in a statement on Tuesday ... thanking the district attorney's office for "ultimately vindicating me completely."

"I have always believed in the importance of truth and fairness, and I am grateful that the evidence spoke for itself. The simple fact is this: I was never there. I never even left my house that night, and all the evidence proved that."

Jones went on to say there was a "rush to judgment" before all the real evidence was presented ... and once the allegations went public, his retirement announcement moment was "stolen from me by someone who made false accusations to avoid a DWI and any real accountability."

"I sincerely hope that this individual is held responsible by Albuquerque’s law enforcement," Jones continued. "They not only disrupted my retirement but also made our police department appear negligent in the process. It is deeply troubling that, in today’s world, a single false accusation can take so much away from someone before any evidence is even considered."

Jon Jones is officially in the clear in his leaving the scene of an accident case ... prosecutors have dismissed all charges against the UFC superstar.

Court documents TMZ Sports has obtained show New Mexico officials dropped the matter after they found "reason to believe [Jones'] alibi defense is credible."

Jones, as you know, was hit with two charges -- one count of leaving the scene of an accident, and one count of use of telephone to terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend -- after he allegedly bolted from the scene of a wreck on Feb. 21 in Albuquerque.

The sad news about former Miss Universe contestant Kseniya Alexandrova's tragic death in August 2025 sent shockwaves throughout the modeling world when her loss was announced.

The 30-year-old beauty pageant contestant had built a life for herself off the runway, a life that appeared to be just ramping up prior to her unexpected sudden death.

Here's a look at what the life of Miss Universe Russia 2017 looked like before her life was interrupted by a freak car accident.

Modeling wasn't Alexandrova's only passion, as she worked as a psychologist in addition to her work in the fashion industry, according to People.

The beauty pageant contestant earned a degree in psychology from Moscow Pedagogical State University, and she started working with clients after leaving the institution.

She shared an update on her professional life in an Instagram post in April 2025, where she wrote about helping clients "find meaning and humanity," translated from Russian.

In addition to her work in the psychology field, she held a degree in finance from the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, according to USA Today.

Alexandrova's personal life was also full, as she'd been married to her husband Ilya for only a few months prior to the accident.

The late model's husband popped the big question in September 2024 in Paris, and she confirmed the news about her engagement on Instagram.

The fashion industry figure and her partner tied the knot in March 2025, and she shared various photos and videos from the event on her account to mark the special day.

She added a message in the caption of one of her posts to let her fans know she had experienced "so much love, joy and sincere feelings" on her wedding day.

Alexandrova died from of injuries she sustained in a car accident ... an elk smashed through the windshield of her vehicle as her husband was driving them through Tver Oblast, Russia -- about 5 hours northwest of Moscow -- in July.

She was in the passenger seat of the car when the vehicle struck the elk, and she was transported to a hospital in Moscow, where she died from her injuries after several weeks. Her husband survived the crash.

The model's death was marked by various organizations, including the Miss Universe pageant, which released a statement about her "grace, beauty, and spirit."

Kseniya Alexandrova -- crowned Vice-Miss Russia back in 2017 -- was in the passenger seat of her husband's Porsche Panamera on July 5 when the elk suddenly bolted onto the road. The elk's body flew into the car, slamming directly into Alexandrova's head, knocking her unconscious, according to reports.

Alexandrova slipped into a coma immediately after the crash due to suffering catastrophic head injuries. She remained in that state until passing away on August 15, according to her modeling agency.

Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice is reportedly set to play in the first few games of the NFL season while he awaits a disciplinary hearing over his role in a 2024 car crash ... and one of the accident victim's lawyers told TMZ Sports he can't believe that's an actual reality.

Marc Lenahan, the attorney representing Kathryn Kuykendall -- who sued Rice after she allegedly suffered multiple injuries when the wideout crashed his rented Lamborghini into the Uber she was in -- said his eligibility to start the year is nonsense, especially as they await a $1 million civil settlement he says they agreed to back in April.

"It makes no sense," the lawyer said.
