LUDLOW, Mass. --A Ludlow teacher has won her job back after prosecutors dropped their case accusing her of making a false bomb threat at an elementary school.


Prosecutors dropped their case against Tina Fisher when a judge ruled last month that videotape from a school security camera could not be used in her trial.

Now the 37-year-old Westfield woman has won an appeal to the state to restore her job.

Fisher was charged after a threatening note was found on a wall at East Elementary School in October 2006. She has denied the accusation. Her attorney Michael Donahue says justice is finally being served.

Ludlow Teacher Arrested For Making Bomb Threat

(AP) LUDLOW An elementary school teacher was arrested Wednesday after allegedly making a bomb threat in the school where she teaches.

Tina Fisher, 36, of Westfield, was ordered held on $100,000 bail pending her arraignment in Palmer District Court scheduled for Thursday. She was charged with making a false bomb threat, threatening to commit a crime and disturbing the peace.

After an aide found the threat written on a note stuck to a hallway wall, the school was evacuated. Students returned to their classes after a 45-minute search turned up no evidence of explosives, said school superintendent Theresa Kane.

Kane said police and school officials reviewed a security videotape when classes resumed and saw a recording of Fisher sticking a note to the wall. Kane said the note singled out school principal Brett Bishop, saying: "Bomb. Boom. (Expletive) Bishop."
