Pa, dentist indicted for dumping at Jersey Shore
Dentist indicted for dumping medical waste – Cape May County News
On Sept. 2, Thomas W. McFarland Jr., a dentist out of Wynnewood, Pa. turned himself into the Avalon Police Department and admitted he was responsible for the approximately 260 Accujet needles, 180 cotton swabs and various other waste items that began washing onto the beaches of Avalon on Aug. 23. The waste continued to wash ashore between 9th and 24th streets and caused four closings over a 10-day span.
Should he be found guilty, I hope they lock up this Pennsylvania trash for a good long time, but fines seem more likely. The article notes that McFarland could be fined up to $75,000.
