ATLANTA (AP) - The owner of the charter bus that crashed carrying Morehouse College band members has been charged with writing bad checks.

Fulton County officials say 38-year-old Steven McClardy was arrested Thursday on a warrant for two counts of felony deposit account fraud.

McClardy is the owner of a bus carrying 42 students that overturned on Interstate 75 on Saturday en route to a football game in Albany.

Fulton County court officials said that in addition to other pending arrest warrants for undisclosed charges, McClardy is wanted by Gwinnett County authorities.
