A special prosecutor has been appointed to investigate how disgraced Democrat attorney general candidate Jay Jones allegedly satisfied 1,000 hours of court-ordered community service following his reckless driving conviction for going 116 MPH in a 70 MPH zone.
Jones, already under fire for past politically violent rhetoric in which he expressed a desire to kill his GOP rival, faced devastating scrutiny when incumbent Attorney General Miyares opened last week’s debate by reminding Virginians of Jones’s 116-mph joyride down Interstate 64.
Earlier this month, Miyares wrote on X, “Jay Jones was caught recklessly driving 116 miles per hour on I-64. Then, he tried to claim campaign work for his own PAC counted as community service to avoid jail. Jay Jones is too soft-on-crime — including his own.”

Jason Miyares:
The reality is that Jay Jones was in court for going 116 miles an hour on Interstate 64. Four people were in court that day, all going roughly the same speed. Three of those four people got suspended or active jail sentences. But Jay Jones is a politician, and he asked the court not to give him any of that—to give him community service.And instead, we now know he misled the court. That community service wasn’t done for a charity; it was done for his own political action committee that he controlled.
According to the New Kent County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, a circuit court judge approved a motion assigning the case to Special Prosecutor Nathan Green, Commonwealth’s Attorney for Williamsburg and James City County, WJLA reported.
The move follows weeks of mounting scrutiny over whether Jones falsified or misrepresented his community service documentation to avoid the penalties typically faced by others convicted of similar offenses.
WJLA reported:
7News reported exclusively that people caught driving even slower than Jones in New Kent County got jail time and had their licenses suspended, but not Jones. Instead, Jones paid a fine and got community service hours.
After being convicted of reckless driving in New Kent County a few years ago, Jones was required to complete 1,000 hours of community service. Court records show Jones presented two letters to the court certifying he had completed 500 hours of service at the NAACP and another 500 hours at an organization called “Meet our Moment”.
The New Kent County Commonwealth’s Attorney told 7News that Jones’ community service documentation did not make clear that Meet Our Moment was a political action committee, or that it was Jones’ own political action committee.
Community service must be performed at a nonpolitical, nonprofit organization, said the prosecutor.
“It’s supposed to be something where you’re giving back to the community,” New Kent County Commonwealth’s Attorney Scott Renick said.
