The suit seeks an order forcing Selleck to stop using the district's water, plus reimbursement for the $21,685.55 it paid the investigator, with damages and other costs.
But the suit is a civil action, not a criminal case. Ventura County sheriff's Capt. John Riley meanwhile told NBC News that the sheriff's office did investigate allegations of criminal water theft, but "we are unable to establish a crime was committed."
The Ventura County district attorney's office also confirmed that no case has been referred to it for prosecution.

Selleck hasn't responded to requests for comment, and it's unknown whether he has anything to do with the water truck, which is registered under a commercial license.
Eric Bergh, the water district's manager of resources, said the suit wasn't meant to be an example of "drought shaming," a peculiarly California activity in which people suspected of hogging water are publicly called out.
