Reckless-endangerment charges were dropped today against five counselors in the death of a 17-year-old at the Bowling Brook Preparatory School.

The counselors held down Isaiah Simmons, of East Baltimore, for nearly three hours on Jan. 23, 2007, and did not call 911 until 41 minutes after Simmons stopped breathing at the Carroll County juvenile facility, Carroll County prosecutors said.
