Overview

• Court records reported by multiple outlets show Jay Jones avoided jail for a 2022 reckless driving case by paying a $1,500 fine and reporting 1,000 hours of community service after being clocked at 116 mph in New Kent County.
• Roughly half of those hours were credited to Meet Our Moment, Jones’s own organization registered as a political action committee, with an attestation letter describing its work as training civic leaders.
• New Kent Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Randy Del Rossi told reporters that court-ordered community service in Virginia means unpaid work for a nonpolitical, charitable nonprofit, raising questions about whether PAC work qualifies.
• Reporting cites absent time sheets from Meet Our Moment and the Virginia NAACP and highlights Jones’s partisan activities during the claimed service period, including trainings, podcasts, and catered events that do not appear to add up to 1,000 hours.
• Documents also indicate the case hearing occurred after Jones completed his service and a driver course, and separate resurfaced texts with violent rhetoric have intensified political pressure, which Jones has acknowledged and expressed regret for.
