How Far?
The Selleck family own and live on a 60 acre avocado farm, as a result, they make sure it is always running smoothly. But just how far would the family, and Tom himself, go to make sure to stays this way? A few years ago, California was suffering from a severe drought, and Tom Selleck broke the law during this time. He hired a truck to transfer about $1.4 million dollars worth of water from a nearby town’s hydrant so that his avocado farm would keep running. It didn’t take long for this crime to catch up with him though.
On The Other Side
Subsequently in 2015, Selleck was sued. The Calleguas Municipal Water District applied allegations about his bringing water to the avocado farm illegally. During a private investigation, they uncovered that Selleck’s farm was using a tanker truck from a neighboring district after it filled up from a fire hydrant. District officials claim that Selleck got water from the hydrant some 12 times in two years. Additionally, previously they had sued him when a cease order was simply ignored.
