Man Pleads Guilty To Polluting A Tributary Of Chesapeake Bay

State prosecutors say a Crisfield man has been convicted of polluting state waters by abandoning a dilapidated and sinking boat in a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay.

According to state prosecutors, 56-year-old Gregory Sterling pleaded guilty to the charge in Somerset County District Court and was sentenced to 45 days in jail.

Prosecutors say the case against Sterling began when a homeowner reported a boat tied up at his dock without his permission.

when the gov't or science dos it the boats are prepared an stripped. then they are sunk in more than 10 feet of water. 45 seems rather long for this, unless its not the first time.

So he is the reason the weather is hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and rain in the spring and cool in the fall?
