@batonrougeguy225: The Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office identified the worker as 57-year-old Michael Mastin of Baton Rouge. He was arrested on two counts of contaminating water supplies and two counts criminal damage to a critical infrastructure. The incident happened March 19 at the parish's water plant in Donaldsonville. Video shared by parish officials showed Mastin walking up to a surveillance camera and adjusting it so that his lower body and the water were just out of frame. The video then shows him standing on a platform over the water for about a minute and a half before he walks back over to the camera and moves it back to its original position. Though parish officials wouldn't be informed of what happened until days later, Ascension President Clint Cointment said the contamination did not pose a threat to the community. "At no time was the public in danger. All water samples taken to date are in good standing and meet all safe water drinking requirements," Cointment said in a statement announcing Mastin's firing. Read the full statement from the parish president's office below. The parish has also released video from incident. #acensionparish #watersupply #nasty #Louisiana
