CHICAGO The state of Illinois has sued the Dave Matthews Band for allegedly dumping up to 800 pounds of liquid human waste from a bus into the Chicago River.
The foul liquid doused a tour boat filled with passengers.
The lawsuit accuses the band and one of its bus drivers of violating state water pollution and public nuisance laws. And it seeks 70-thousand-dollars in civil penalties.
A band spokesman says its bus driver denies involvement in the incident.
But according to the lawsuit, the driver allegedly emptied the contents of the septic tank through the metal grating of a downtown bridge into the river below.
More than 100 people on an architecture tour were showered with foul-smelling waste. Everyone received refunds, and the boat was cleaned with disinfectant.
