“Armed personnel from the Environmental Protection Agency raided The Rooter Guys on Tracey Road Thursday morning,” cdapress.com reports. “EPA spokesman Mark MacIntyre [confirmed that] the EPA’s Criminal Enforcement Unit was armed . . . Jared Jasper, the foreman at Spectrum Powder Coating across the street, said several armed EPA agents showed up with Kootenai County Sheriff’s Office deputies around 8:30 a.m. ‘I have never seen that before,’ he said. ‘These guys were wearing bulletproof vests with ‘federal agent’ written across the back.’ Jasper said while the agents were raiding the building, another vehicle was removing sewer caps along Tracey Avenue and taking samples. He said it looked like the EPA was investigating some illegal dumping.” With guns. [h/t AEG]
