NOOOOOOO: Tom Selleck Is Accused Of Doing The Unthinkable In Drought-Riddled California

Man, I expect crap like this from liberal celebrities. Not super-awesome and conservative Tom Selleck! My mother is a HUGE Tom Selleck fan, so I know this is going to be a tough one for her to hear (Sorry, Mom).

According to this, Tom Selleck has been accused of stealing water for his avocado farm in California. Remember California? That huge liberal hole on the west coast that's been struggling through a drought so bad that Governor Jerry Brown has had to impose water restrictions that could cripple the California economy significantly? Yup. That California.

(Just an aside – we're actually getting rain in Utah right now in July. That NEVER happens.)

According to a complaint filed by the water district, Selleck has allegedly been trucking water taken from fire hydrants in a neighboring water district as far back as 2013 and as recently as March 2015 –

The Calleguas Municipal Water District said in its complaint filed Monday in Ventura County Superior Court that on more than a dozen occasions since 2013, a white truck filled up at a Thousand Oaks hydrant and hauled the water to Selleck’s 60-acre ranch in Westlake Village.

 

To document the alleged theft, the water district spent nearly $22,000 to hire a private investigator, according to the complaint.

Before filing the complaint, the water district tried to get Selleck to halt the unlawful water deliveries. In November 2013, Calleguas sent cease-and-desist letters to both Selleck’s home and an Avenue of the Stars address that’s linked to the property, according to court papers.

 

As recently as March 2015, the water truck was spotted filling up at the same hydrant and delivering water to Selleck’s estate on four separate days, according to the complaint.

…sigh.. Why Tom Selleck? WHY???
