Judge Julia Dewey granted special probation to Edward Lazu, a former city employee who the state arrested on charges relating to home driveway work done by Carlos Costa — the same contractor whose home improvement work led to guilty verdicts for Mayor Eddie A. Perez.

I’ll be filing a story detailing the events later today.
UPDATE: Here’s a link to our story that will be on the air this afternoon.
