DA to prosecute Cumberland Farms over 2011 gasoline spill

Don Lehman

Washington County prosecutors plan to begin a criminal prosecution in the coming weeks against Cumberland Farms for the 2011 gasoline leak that caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in infrastructure damage in Fort Edward.

Washington County District Attorney Tony Jordan acknowledged this week that he has been in discussions with the convenience store chain about a possible resolution to the 2.5-year investigation.

Jordan would not discuss what that resolution would entail, but acknowledged it would include the filing of at least one criminal charge.

He said he believed a court appearance would occur in the coming weeks.
