Luzerne County Controller said he obtained records that show a county van driver had a suspended license during much of her county employment, and he is pressing commissioners to take action so it doesn’t happen again.

The vans, operated jointly with Wyoming County, provide transportation for the elderly and those with physical and mental disabilities. Griffith released Pennsylvania Department of Transportation records Thursday showing that van driver Heather Dourand, who was hired as a full-time driver in February 2008, had a license suspension that went into effect May 19, 2008.
Dourand’s license was not restored until Nov. 18, 2009, the state record shows. Another suspension took effect Dec. 23, 2009, and her license was restored on Feb. 12, the record says.
