Jay Jones, Virginia ‘s Democratic attorney general nominee, rubbed shoulders with politicos at catered events and appeared on podcasts after striking a sweetheart deal to perform “community service” for his own political action committee to avoid jail time, newly resurfaced social media posts show.

On Oct. 2, the Richmond Times-Dispatch set off a firestorm by reporting that Jones had avoided jail time after law enforcement caught him speeding at 116 mph by promising to do 1,000 hours of community service. Documents obtained by the Richmond Times-Dispatch indicated that 500 of those hours were logged at Meet Our Moment, a PAC led by Jones, and the other 500 were recorded at Virginia’s chapter of the NAACP.
