so.. Tom Selleck wants his water for free ..Mr rightwing [View all]

Mr law and order

The suit says the water district sent cease-and-desist letters to Selleck after its investigator spotted the truck at the hydrant eight times the week of Sept. 29, 2013.

But the truck showed up again in December of that year, and was tracked as it proceeded to Selleck's property, according to the suit.

Then, on four straight days just last March, the same truck again drained tankloads of water from the construction site and delivered it to the Selleck ranch, the suit says.

The suit seeks an order forcing Selleck to stop using the district's water, plus reimbursement for the $21,685.55 it paid the investigator, with damages and other costs.
