The complaint says "Jones admitted that he never obtained a driver's license but even so, his driver's status was currently suspended." He had also been issued citations in the past for having a suspended driver's license.
The complaint says Jones told officers "he hit someone but continued southbound without stopping." It also says, "He then watched the news and saw that the person who he had hit had died. He then became upset and realized what he had done." During his statement to police, Jones "apologized for being untruthful initially because he was scared to be away from his children."
If convicted, Jones faces up to 25 years in prison and $100,000 in fines.
