Legal Question in Criminal Law in Arizona

I'm in Tucson AZ. Two days ago while my 10 year old was on the school bus he let a kid use his phone to call her mom. The gerl misdialed her moms number and when the person on the line answered she said "Don't Bomb Copper Creek" (which is their school). The person called 911 and they traced my sons number to the school. School went on lock down. My son was called into the office were he told police that this girl used his phone. I was not present. He was afraid and told police he didn't hear what she said. When I arrived they had already read my son his rights, which I did not know till later in the day. My son looked scared and looked like he was hiding something. After talking with him in front of police he finally admitted that he did hear her say it. My son didn't want to see this kid get in trouble and didn't want to be the one to get her in trouble, he's only 10... My son was charged with False Information, Class 1 mis and Interfering in Govornment Ivestigation, Class 1 mis... He has been suspended from school for 9 days but we have to go in front of school board and they might not let him back.

My son was a witness to this crime. He did not do this threat. On his school disiplinary action they said "bomb threat" "threats and intimidation" "disruption" "lying to law inforcement" My son is an A & B kid. He has a huge heart and is a protector. Can I get these charges against him dropped? He did not lie, he's a 10 year old who was afraid to get somebody in trouble. Also, on a funny note, his principle told him to lie and just tell kids that the police were there because a pipe broke. And 15 min later he was charged with lying.
