Randi Romanoff. (Credit: Lee County Sheriff’s Office) The woman who pled guilty to misusing money donated to add lights where a Lee County student was killed at a bus stop is expected in court after being accused of failing to pay restitution ordered by the court. According to court documents, Randi Romanoff, 33, failed to pay the $180 restitution for April, May, August, October, and December for a total of $900 in missed payments. Romanoff agreed to the $180 monthly payments to pay off $20,000 in restitution as a condition of a plea deal she took in 2021. Romanoff was arrested in September of 2020 after she set up a nonprofit in the name of Layla Aiken, an 8-year-old girl killed by a car at her school bus stop in Cape Coral. The nonprofit Lights for Layla generated more than $72,000 that donors believed would go toward helping improve bus stop safety. Some of the funds went to the Aiken family; other funds were used for beach resorts, toll violations, and retail shopping. Romanoff is expected to appear in court for the probation violations on Monday.
