Judge Grant grants deferred findings and reduces fines during Lake Forest Park infractions calendar

Judge Grant opened the afternoon infractions calendar on Feb. 4, 2026, explaining that infraction hearings are mitigation or deferred-finding proceedings. For camera-based photo tickets the court confirmed those violations do not go on a driving record.

Michael Anderson, appearing on a HOV-lane moving violation, was found eligible for a six-month deferred finding. The court explained the deferred-finding terms: a six-month monitoring window, a $175 administrative fee and the option to pay the fee in up to four installments; the court said it would enter the agreement and mail the paperwork.

The court mitigated multiple photo and speeding matters on the calendar: Kenneth Becker accepted a mitigation penalty of $75 for a school-zone photo ticket; Sandra Jones accepted a mitigation offered by the court (paperwork to follow); Uche Agwu was assessed a $90 mitigation for a red-light camera ticket and $50 for a school-zone speeding camera ticket (total $145) with a payment deadline set for March 20 after Agwu requested time to pay; Margaret Milanowski received mitigation to $85 for a school walk-zone violation.

Aidan Santos (age 22) was found eligible for a six‑month deferred finding for a 10-over speeding ticket on the condition of no further moving violations, completion of a defensive-driving course and payment of the $175 administrative fee; the court set the administrative fee due March 20 and directed the defendant to provide proof of the driving course within the continuance window.

The court noted that bonds posted on some matters will be exonerated and that notices or amended obligations will be mailed to the addresses on file. Where defendants requested payment plans or additional time, the court set specific due dates (for example, March 20 for certain payments).
