Man Helping Veterans Becomes Federal Criminal

Article

"The federal government accused Lewis of violating the Clean Water Act because when he attempted to divert sewage from flooding the military retirement home where he served as the chief engineer, he unknowingly diverted the sewage into a creek that carried water to the Potomac River. He thought—as did all of the other staffers at the retirement home—that the storm drain was connected to a city sewage-treatment system."

"Lewis, of course, thought he was using reasonable care by seeking to prevent the flooding of the nursing home—but the government does not take this mistake into consideration."

"...he [now] has a criminal record that he cannot avoid disclosing when applying for jobs."

I don't know what else to say other than this is just nothing but pure evil.
