CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) -- The State of Illinois accuses the Dave Matthews band and one of its bus drivers of violating state water pollution and public nuisance laws. It seeks $70,000 in civil penalties.
According to the lawsuit, as a bus leased by the band crossed the Kinzie Street bridge, the driver allegedly emptied the contents of the septic tank through the bridge's metal grating into the Chicago River below.
More than 100 people on an architecture tour were showered with foul-smelling waste.
