WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration’s top environmental official for the Southeast has been arrested on Alabama state ethics charges related to a scheme to help a coal company avoid paying for a costly toxic waste cleanup.
Trey Glenn was booked into a county jail in Birmingham on Thursday before being released on a $30,000 bond. Glenn was appointed last year as chief of the Environmental Protection Agency’s regional office in Atlanta, which oversees operations in eight states.
Glenn is charged with multiple ethics violations stemming from his prior work as a coal-industry consultant opposing federal Superfund cleanup efforts. He resigned as director of the Alabama Department of Environmental Management in 2009 following another ethics scandal.
It was not clear if Glenn had an attorney. EPA spokesman John Konkus declined to comment.

He won’t need one, big fact pardon coming his way…
Only the bastard people…
Another Trump person arrested and it isn’t about Russia. Just plain old criminal graft. He was working with a coal company to help cover-up and avoid paying for trashing the environment.
Only the best
BTW, Rachel did a deep dive into this piece of shit’s past a couple of nights ago and it’s worth a watch.
Here’s Rachel’s segment
It is almost as if transition team sent out vast trawling nets to find some of the most venal, toxic, and stupid figures to fill Trump Admin appointments. Seriously, at this point, just by chance one couldn’t have found so many greedy, crooked, and arrogant people to fill these posts. Then again if you could only consider people who had publicly backed Trump and said nice things about him - then it was, at least initially, a fairly narrow, and stupid trench to search through.
