Town of Brookfield man runs water at apartment for a month to get rid of bad smell

TOWN OF BROOKFIELD, Wis. (CBS 58) – Town of Brookfield police say a man ran the water at an apartment for a month to get rid of a bad smell.

The man turned on the hot water to get rid of the smell of drain pipes at the apartment complex “The Corners” on January 22, but it wasn’t noticed until March 6.

The apartment manager called police to report the incident. The apartment did sustain some damage due to steam, but the complex says it won’t press charges against the man.
