DMB Blamed In Chicago Dumping Incident
Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Legalese at 11:00pm on Tuesday, Aug 24th, 2004The Dave Matthews Band isn't off the hook in Chicago after all. The Illinois State Attorney is placing blame on DMB for the tour bus that sprayed human waste on August 9 onto some people, according to CBS 2 Chicago.
The suit charges both the band and the bus driver with violating state water pollution laws, as well as common law public nuisance laws.
DMB has been a strong supporter of enviromental causes, including planting trees to offset emissions (the air kind) from their tour buses. DMB maintains that all tour buses used by the band were parked at the time of the incident.
The Chicago Tribune reports that there is video proof of the DMB bus being the culprit. Thanks to Ants User mikesleone, and Paul, seperately, for the tips!
