Charges Bound to Court -- Again

Charges against one of the men accused of intentionally spilling oil onto the Allegheny National Forest have been bound to court again.

The lawyer for 22-year-old Christopher Horton challenged the ruling in the first preliminary hearing held in November, so a second hearing was held Thursday.

Horton and his father, Andrew Horton, are accused of vandalizing oil tanks which caused about 45,000 gallons of oil to spill onto the forest and leak into creeks and streams, killing fish and aquatic life.
