ERIE, Pa. (AP) -- A man who shut down the city's largest reservoir after he tossed a bag containing dirty underwear over its fence was ordered to pay $5,000.
The city bomb squad and hazardous materials crew responded after an Erie Water Works employee became suspicious after he saw the black bag near the 33-million gallon Sigsbee Reservoir on May 27.

LOL I know this serious but what was wrong with shoving it somewhere else. What a retard. The most costly pants poo I'll ever hear about.
Dirty underwear...send it to the jail in Iraq quick.
yup!
How odd that there are NO PICTURES of this person???
why?
A memeber of the 'local $$$ elite' perhaps? Is that name for real? too many questions - too few explanations. Climbibg 2 barbed wire fences to deposit a black bag on the shore sure sounds like a TERRORIST practice session to me. See how long it takes to be discovered - adjust for errors...
Yep. $5K is enough to make him soil his fresh pair all over again.
I still can't figure out why he didn't just put 'em in the laundry like normal people would do.
(Yeah, ya gotta swoosh 'em around in the toilet first, to get rid of the heavy stuff. But that's just one of life's unpleasant situations that everybody has to deal with every now and then.)
wow they mustve been really bad to call a hazmat team. how did they know they were his, did he have his name wrote in the band
??? So he packs up dirty underwear, carts it all the way out to a reservior, and then throws it over the fence?? Has this creton ever heard of a laundry mat? Nut job or terrorist dry run. Where's his picture?!
Was the underwear in a briefcase? If so, I suspect the Big Lebowski might have been involved.
Nope. He CLIMBS over TWO BARBED WIRE fences!!!
Good grief! I shudder to think how bad that pantload must've been if he's that desperate to get rid of 'em!
Says something about how vulnerable the water supply is in some communities.
Yep.
Sounds to me like this reservoir is surrounded by two barbed-wire-topped fences, plus it has alert employees on the premises.
What additional security measures would you propose?
A garbage can isn't good enough for some people. LOLOL Now the entire country knows this little twit had a load in his briefs. Too funny. Way to be inconspicuous - NOT lol
