Alaska pumper sent to jail for illegal disposal

A pumper in Alaska has admitted to illegally disposing of septage waste, and ran into more trouble when the investigation led to his marijuana growing operation. According to the Anchorage Daily News, Kenneth Champ pleaded guilty in August to a felony environmental crime and another felony charge of theft. The charges stemmed from a neighbor’s complaint of human waste in a stream that flowed through his property in September 2011. The owner of Champ Septic allegedly threatened State Troopers when they came to his property to investigate. The 1,700 pot plants were discovered in December during the course of the investigation.
