Charges against Vision dropped

FORT WALTON BEACH, Fla. -- Criminal charges against Vision Airlines have been dropped. State Attorney Bill Eddins said Tuesday that his office dropped the first-degree grand theft charge against the airline after it paid more than $160,000 in fines and fees to Okaloosa County in the past month. The state attorney's office filed the grand theft charge after the county tried unsuccessfully for months to get Vision to pay unpaid passenger facility charges owed to Northwest Florida Regional Airport.
