Main Line Dentist Sentenced in NJ for Fouling Beaches
by KYW's Michelle Durham
The Wynnewood, Pa. dentist convicted of dumping medical waste into the waters off the coast of Avalon, NJ right before Labor Day weekend 2008 was sentenced today in New Jersey.
Dr. Thomas McFarland was sentenced to four years' probation and a $100,000 fine.
Deputy attorney general Edward Bonanno says all of the money will end up in the affected community:
"The restitution is all going, at the state's recommendation, to Avalon. The $100,000 can be used for the expenses the borough incurred dealing with the cleanup and the aftermath of that. And then any additional monies can be used for environmental programs or projects at the borough's discretion."
