Motocross rider Jason Lawrence is no stranger to controversy and it appears the troubled champion can now add a long stint in jail to his rap sheet. Lawrence has been sentenced to a year in a Riverside County jail for assault.
Jason Lawrence celebrates a 2008 Supercross victory. The MX star is serving time now for an assault conviction.
First reported on Racer X on Sept 9th, Lawrence’s incarceration stems from a fight with a friend where J Law reputedly bit part of the victim’s ear off. The Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta, California, lists a Jason Donald Lawrence on a booking report with a matching birth date.

Yamaha star’s MX career is on permanent hold until he finds his way out of his cell…
