VANCOUVER Wash. (KPTV) - The Clark County District Attorney dropped a sexual misconduct charge against a Vancouver teacher on Thursday, due to the statute of limitations, but authorities are continuing to investigate.

Hudson’s Bay High School teacher Shadbreon Gatson was arrested early last week and booked on a charge of sexual misconduct with a minor. The Vancouver Public School District confirmed the report and told parents that Gatson was placed on administrative leave in November.
