You are a good detective!
...Karr was arrested in April 2001 in Sonoma County and charged with five counts of possession of child pornography, but fled the county before he could be convicted, said Sgt. Robert Giordano of the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department.
A source close to the investigation who wanted to remain anonymous said the pornography was allegedly found on Karr's computer after a third party alerted the sheriff's department. "It was a hard case," the source said. "I think they worked on it for months."
Karr worked in the Petaluma City Elementary School District as an elementary substitute teacher from Dec. 8, 2000 to April 2, 2001, when he was terminated from the position, said Deputy Superintendent of Business Services Steve Bolman. Karr worked in several schools in the district and in other schools in the North Bay.
The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing suspended Karr's credential on April 11, 2002, the minutes of the commission meeting show. He was suspended because of a complaint, information or an indictment that had been filed in court against him alleging that he committed a sex offense or an offense "involving aiding and abetting the unlawful sale, use or exchange to minors of controlled substances," according to the minutes.
Authorities learned during the investigation that Karr had been fired from teaching jobs in Georgia and another southern state amid similar allegations.
"We submitted (the case) to the DA's office for prosecution," Giordano said. "At some point in the court process he failed to appear and a warrant was issued for his arrest. That warrant is still outstanding."
