Overview

• Virginia State Police stopped Jones at 12:55 a.m. in January 2022 on I-64 after clocking him at 116 mph, 46 miles over the limit, according to court records reported this week.
• He was convicted of reckless driving and sentenced to 1,000 hours of community service and a $1,500 fine, with reporting noting no indication of jail time.
• Documents state roughly half of the service hours were performed for his PAC, Meet Our Moment, with the remainder logged with the Virginia NAACP, and a declaration was signed by adviser Lesley Shinbaum Stewart.
• Jones called the incident a serious mistake and said he accepted responsibility, paid the fine, and completed obligations approved by the New Kent County prosecutor and judge.
• Incumbent Attorney General Jason Miyares’s campaign criticized the PAC hours and alleged Jones used a letter to avoid potential jail time, turning the disclosure into a late-campaign issue ahead of the Nov. 4 election.
