Pretrial intervention opposed in N.J. dumping case – The Inky
New Jersey’s attorney general is trying to keep Pennsylvania dentist Thomas McFarland, alleged to have dumped medical waste into the Townsends Inlet between Avalon and Sea Isle City, from entering a pretrial intervention program. McFarland’s alleged actions resulted in beach closures during the Labor Day weekend from Cape May to Atlantic City.
New Jersey got a black eye a generation ago for beach closings caused by trash that washed up — trash from out of state sources. What McFarland has alleged to do should result in some hard time if he is convicted.
