CHARGES ARE DROPPED AGAINST ONE PERSON INVOLVED IN THAT HIGH-PROFILE STATE POLICE TRAFFIC STOP OUTSIDE TAOS LAST OCTOBER. MOST PEOPLE REMEMBER TWO THINGS FROM THE DASH CAM OF A VAN BEING PULLED OVER. ONE IS PROBABLY THE IMAGES OF THE STATE POLICE OFFICER FIRING AT THE VAN AS IT FLED. THE OTHER WOULD BE WHERE THE SON OF THE DRIVER, ORIANA FARRELL OF MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, JUMPS OUT OF THE VAN AND SCUFFLES WITH THE OFFICER WHO WAS TRYING TO DETAIN FARRELL.
NOW THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THE TAOS COUNTY D-A HAS DROPPED THE CHARGES OF BATTERY AND ASSAULT, CITING CONCERNS OVER THE BOY'S FUTURE. CHARGES AGAINST THE MOTHER REMAIN PENDING.
