A California water district this week filed a complaint alleging that Tom Selleck, most famous for his starring roles in Three Men and a Baby and other 1980s hits, stole truckloads of hydrant water to use on his capacious ranch in the Hidden Valley. From The Los Angeles Times:

The Calleguas Municipal Water District said in a complaint filed Monday in Ventura County Superior Court that on more than a dozen occasions since 2013, a white truck filled up at a Thousand Oaks hydrant and hauled the water to Selleck's 60-acre ranch in Westlake Village. [The Los Angeles Times]
