Prince William County Commonwealth Attorney's Office employees donned personalized aprons and participated in a taxpayer-funded cooking class at the Old Manassas Courthouse, which was billed as a team-building exercise.

Editors note: We blurred the faces of Prince William County Commonwealth Attorney's Office employees. We obtained and published the non-blurred image from a social media account maintained by a Commonwealth Attorney's Office employee. After publication, that employee asked us to remove the photo, citing the need to protect the employees' identities. 

County records show that nine days before Prince William County Commonwealth Attorney Amy Ashworth threatened to stop prosecuting a wide-ranging number of cases due to what she called a funding shortage, Ashworth’s office spent nearly $3,500 in taxpayer funds to bring a local chef to perform a cooking demonstration for her staff at the Old Manassas Courthouse.
