ATHENS - Federal court documents show prosecutors want to drop embezzlement charges against former Winterville Elementary School Principal Yvonne John-Daniels.

John-Daniels resigned as principal of Winterville Elementary School in December 2005 amid allegations by Clarke County School District officials that she may have misappropriated up to $155,000 in school funds.

Acting U.S. Attorney G.F. Peterman said in August that authorities would not seek to extradite John-Daniels from Trinidad and Tobago, her native country. She returned there while she was under investigation, and authorities say she has been working at the University of Trinidad and Tobago.

U.S. Attorney Michael Moore filed a motion in federal court to dismiss all charges, saying pursuing the case is not a prudent use of the government's resources.
