| Trespasser Freed From Pipe At NJ Water Plant, Faces Criminal Charges | ||
| 2014-01-20 | ||
Officials told CBS 2 around 11:30 a.m. on Friday that 26-year-old Asef Mohammed, of Manalapan, had been freed and airlifted to an area hospital. He was 10 to 12 feet down the pipe, which was not in use, WCBS 880′s Levon Putney reported. United Water front man Rich Henning said Mohammed broke into the plant that treats and pumps water for the township of Manalapan. Workers heard cries for help coming from the pipe around 7 a.m. Friday. "This was a person that purposely climbed a six-foot fence with three or four layers of barbed wire on top," Henning said. Manalapan police announced Friday afternoon that Mohammed is being charged with fourth-degree criminal trespassing and may face additional charges as the investigation continues, CBS 2′s Steve Langford reported. Henning said the outflow pipe is used for cleaning a storage facility and is no more than 24 inches wide. He said the water quality was not affected by the incident. Manalapan's mayor told CBS 2 the town is considering the possibility of having Mohammed pay for the cost of the rescue operation.

| #8 Primal and unplanned. Primal, unplanned, and unannounced. Primal, unplanned, unannounced, and unhealthy. Nobody expects a United Water Plant inquisition. |

| #7 "This was a person that purposely climbed a six-foot fence with three or four layers of barbed wire on top," Henning said. His defense attorney will claim that the lack of prominent multi-linguistic warning signs means that the operators really really didn't mean to inhibit casual trespassers. Therefore his client should be found not guilty and fault assessed upon the plant operators. (these days, no sarc) |

| #5 As punishment he shall crawl through and clean out the sewer lines. The ones leading to Taco Bell. It's reasonable, since he likes crawling through S&WB pipes. |
