Perjury Charges For Sanitation Business Supervisor In Illegal Waste-Dumping Probe

SAN DIEGO COUNTY, CA – Acting U.S. Attorney Alana Robinson Thursday announced that a supervisor for a San Marcos-based portable-sanitation equipment provider has been charged with two counts of perjury stemming from testimony he gave before a grand jury looking into allegations of illegal waste dumping.

Ronald B. Fabor, operations safety and compliance manager for Diamond Environmental Services, made the allegedly false statements during an investigation into accusations that the company had unlawfully discharged trucked portable toilet waste into municipal sewer systems in violation of federal law, according to prosecutors.

An indictment alleges that Fabor, 55, falsely testified that he first learned about the illicit dumping on the day federal search warrants in the case were executed at the firm's locations in San Diego and San Marcos.

Fabor told the grand jury he had never seen hoses connecting Diamond's waste tank to sewers. However, Fabor previously had drawn a diagram of the toilet-waste hoses with the words "to the sewer lines," according to court documents. The drawing was found during the execution of the warrants.

Fabor, a San Marcos resident, was ordered to appear in court again June 19 for a motions hearing.
