DMB offers DNA to ID **** dumped on boat

Update on the messy affair : chicago is filing a civil case against the band, and DMB is offering DNA to check if the dumped waste is their property. Wonder if CSI will have an episode that re-enacts this case, with the investigators leaving no stones unturned?

The Illinois Attorney General's office filed a civil lawsuit against the band on Tuesday, accusing them of dumping the waste.

The suit claimed that either the band or its bus driver, Stefan A. Wohl, dumped between 80 and 100 gallons of the "foul-smelling, offensive" waste from the bus down through an open grating in the bridge.

That waste splashed onto the approximately 109 tour boat passengers, including disabled people, senior citizens, a pregnant woman, a small child and an infant, the suit stated.

The suit charges both the band and Wohl with violating state water pollution laws, as well as common law public nuisance laws. It seeks a penalty of $60,000 for the water pollution violation and $10,000 for a permit violation, according to the Illinois Attorney General's office.
