I vaguely wonder what his motivations were.

That should be the first response: why?!?!?!

I hope he's fined $14m.

Industrial sabotage comes in many forms.

Poor pre-smolts.

The man who had been arrested for damages that could be worth $13 million is already released!

Heckathorn was lodged at the Douglas County Jail, and has since been released. He has a court appearance on May 16. No motive has been given yet for the vandalism of the facility and destruction of the fish.

I wonder what his motive was. Comments on the sheriff's facebook page suggest eco-terrorism.
