Charges dropped against driver of Altar Valley school bus, for now

Charges dropped against driver of Altar Valley school bus, for now | www.azstarnet.com ®: "Criminal charges against an Altar Valley School District bus driver suspected of allowing children to misbehave on a school bus have been dropped, but they will likely be refiled in the next couple of weeks, a Pima County prosecutor said.

The charges against Fran Yourn, 42, were dismissed without prejudice, which means they can be refiled, said Chief Criminal Deputy Attorney David Berkman.

The Pima County Attorney's Office needed to obtain additional evidence before going to trial, Berkman said.

Pima County Sheriff's Department deputies arrested Yourn on Dec. 12 on suspicion of endangerment after a video surfaced of children acting rowdy on the bus."
