It wasn't hard to track down Jun Wang the first time he ran from the crime that would eventually land him on U.S. EPA's list of wanted fugitives.
Wang fled after employees of a Kettering, Ohio, tire shop confronted him as he drained gasoline from his delivery truck into a storm sewer near their store on Nov. 18, 2003.
Amid the commotion, the panicked Wang failed to replace his fuel-tank plug, and his truck trailed gasoline through a parking lot and through the streets of Kettering.
He didn't replace the plug until his next food delivery stop. But it was too late. Authorities weren't far behind.
Wang, a Chicago native, was eventually charged with one count of criminal violation of the Clean Water Act. Facing up to three years in prison and a quarter-million dollars in fines, he ran a second time.
Can anyone tell me why a guy dumping gas in a sewer puts you on the EPA most wanted list? Why is that a felony on the first place?

What I want to know is why anyone would dump perfectly good gasoline in the sewer.

And to think how much law enforcement effort is going to track this guy down while Roman Polanski runs around Europe a free man.
Can anyone tell me why a guy dumping gas in a sewer puts you on the EPA most wanted list? Why is that a felony on the first place?
Why would he dump gas in a drain? Don't you care about your drinking water? Don't you want the cost of water treatment to go down? After all, the more shit you dump in the water, the more treatment is required.
But even with all of that, it still begs the question... Why would he dump gas down a drain? Shit's pretty expensive to be doing that.

Where did I say it should be ignored? What I want to know is why is it a federal offense that deserves being included on the most wanted list? Do you think that the city might actually have a law that prohibits people dumping gas into their water supply?

Wang, a driver for the New Shun Shing International Trading Co., had accidentally filled up one of his delivery truck's two fuel tanks with gasoline. The truck ran on diesel.

The point is that it is a waste of resources chasing down a guy who spilled a little gas in the storm drain while there's much bigger criminals out there.¿Que?Roman Polanski? Good God, reach much?
Roman Polanski is a scumbag who will never set foot on American soil again. it's a strawman.

The Kettering Fire Department and Dayton area HAZMAT crews had to be called to clean up the fuel, some of which drained it into Little Beaver Creek, a tributary of the Ohio River that is classified as a national wild and scenic river.
"It is a federal crime to dump hazardous materials into storm drains since they often drain directly into our water supply," said Gregory Lockhart, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Ohio, in a July 2004 release. "Only prompt action by the tire shop employees and the first responders from the Kettering Fire Department and area HAZMAT crews prevented further environmental damage."
