FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A check of the names of people who are owed refunds for excessive traffic fines in Fargo has turned up 118 people who owe child support totaling $1.3 million.
Department of Human Services child support director Mike Schwindt says the agency will now attempt to track down those people.
A federal judge last month said the state's child support enforcement program should receive a list of people who joined in a class action lawsuit over the excessive traffic fines in Fargo, as long as the program paid for the list and kept the information confidential.
The ruling affected about 14,000 people who filed valid claims for reimbursement because the city was charging more for traffic fines than state law allows.
