Christopher Horton Pleads Guilty

Christopher Horton has pleaded guilty to opening valves on oil tanks and allowing more than 42,000 gallons of oil spill onto the Allegheny National Forest.

In McKean County Court on Monday Horton said his father Andrew dropped him off near Snyder Brothers leases last August. He rode an ATV to the leases, where he opened the valves and smashed equipment.

Thousands of fish and other aquatic life died because of the spill. About half a million dollars worth of damage was done to Snyder Brothers property.

No sentencing date has been set for Christopher Horton. Andrew Horton will be sentenced July 1.

The U.S. Attorney’s office is preparing to file charges against Christopher Horton in federal court.
