The boy who was most badly injured when driver Angelynna Young crashed her school bus last January sat just a few feet from the Williamstown woman in a Grant County courtroom Wednesday.
He listened as her attorneys tried unsuccessfully to get disputed evidence that she was using drugs that day excluded from her upcoming trial, which a judge also refused to move away from the close-knit rural community.
Grant Circuit Court Judge Stephen Bates ruled that urine tests showing the former Grant County Middle School bus driver had intoxicants, including cocaine, in her system during the Jan. 17 crash, is admissible. Attorneys argued her blood tests - which showed no intoxicants - are more reliable.
...Young, 28, faces a 25-count indictment, including charges of assault and wanton endangerment, stemming from the Jan. 17 incident.
She is being held in the Grant County Jail on a $50,000 cash bond.
Her attorneys were seeking to suppress her urine tests results, which investigators said showed she had a barbiturate, a narcotic, marijuana and cocaine in her system the morning of the crash. They said the drug test on her urine should not be allowed at her trial since the results contradict results of tests on her blood that day, which they said are more accurate.
