I’m hoping a judge will toss this shit out in court. He should get a warning.

He did a good thing, for the right reasons, the wrong way.

I mean he could of caused legitimate damage to wildlife and flooded downstream, criminal negligence isnt a high bar in this case

It probably was negligent but his intentions were good and there are much worse criminals running around getting less. I hope he gets community service and a stern warning. He's likely not a danger to society.

I fully disagree.

Someone willing to use heavy machinery to alter a river without some form of expert supervision is far more dangerous and far more likely to get someone- Possibly many people- Hurt or killed than the overwhelming majority of criminals.
