Stuck driver dumps his load — of raw sewage

By at 5 March, 2010, 8:15 am

The truck Manuel Estrada was driving became stuck on a dirt service road in the Ocala National Forest. He is an employee of A-1 Gibson Septic Tank Service and was hauling a load of raw sewage. Estrada feared losing his job for getting the truck stuck and for having to call a towing company to tow the truck at the company’s expense, according to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection release. His solution: He dumped approximately 150-200 gallons

of the raw sewage from his truck to lighten its weight. Luckily, a stool pigeon contacted the Marion County Sheriff’s Office about the incident. Now he has a crapload of other problems. By contaminating the forest, Estrada, 34, violated the Florida Litter Law, a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000, reports
