ERIE, Pa. -- A man who soiled his underwear and tried to dispose of the evidence by tossing it over the fence of the city's largest reservoir has been fined $5,000.
The city bomb squad and hazardous materials crew responded after an Erie Water Works employee spotted a black bag near the 33-million gallon Sigsbee Reservoir last month.
The reservoir was shut down for several hours while the bomb squad X-rayed the bag and hazardous materials crews waited to test it.
Police tracked down Troy Musil, 18, of Erie. He told police he'd been ill and soiled his underwear. He changed at a friend's house, then climbed over two barbed-wire-topped fences to ditch the skivvies. Musil pleaded guilty last week to defiant trespass. The judge gave Musil a 90-day suspended jail sentence and ordered him to pay $500 a month for 10 months to the emergency agencies that responded.

That must've been one hell of a skidmark.
Another reason why I don't wear underwear.
Well, however unintentional it was, he did dump his dirty did-i-s into the drinking water. Just ick.
Poor guy, how humiliating. BTW, it doesn't appear to have gone into the water.
You are correct - I re-read the story and the soiled undies apparently didn't make it into the water. My bad.
Remember "Green Acres," when the nubile girls would bathe in the water tower? I wonder if the water was treated?

He sharted.
Well what did you expect - it took place in EERIE!(Somehow I just knew this thread would be funny.)
Too funny... I haven't laughed that hard in days!
Too much information, EoM.
Well, yes. But then, I think it's probably a good plan to be paranoid when somebody climbs over two barbed-wire-topped fences to "ditch the skivvies" in or near a city water supply.
That's not innocent behavior.
I'm glad to see our water systems are being watched closely.
