Ian Bray pleaded guilty to driving while license suspended in the second degree and to driving without the required ignition interlock device during the July 30, 2025 readiness calendar. Judge Jennifer Grant accepted Bray’s written plea and found a factual basis in the record.
Grant explained the charges are gross misdemeanors with a maximum of 364 days in jail and a $5,000 fine. Based on the plea paperwork and counsel’s statements, the court imposed a concurrent sentence with all 364 days suspended and fully suspended the $5,000 fine for a two-year period. The judge also recommended to the Department of Licensing against re-suspension and instructed Bray to comply with ignition interlock requirements imposed by DOL.
The court noted Bray is relicensed but currently not employed and will receive the judgment and sentence by mail. The city moved to dismiss a separate infraction for expired registration; the judge granted that dismissal in light of the plea.
