Tom Selleck Accused Of Stealing Water For Private Ranch By Los Angeles Municipal Authority
The famous actor grows avocados on his 60 acre ranch in Westlake Village, and has been accused of stealing water from a local district to irrigate it.
A municipal authority in drought-stricken Los Angeles has accused veteran ‘Magnum P.I.’ and ‘Blue Bloods’ actor Tom Selleck of illegally siphoning off water from a public hydrant and using it to irrigate his avocado ranch in Westlake Village.
The Calleguas Municipal Water District in Ventura County, California has claimed that a tanker truck has filled up at a public water hydrant over a dozen times, and then transported that water to Selleck’s private 60-acre property. The district claims that, through hiring a private investigator, it has ascertained that this has been going on as far back as 2013.
Representatives for Selleck and his wife Jillie, who is also named in the lawsuit, have not commented on the allegations which emerged on Wednesday (July 8th).
