Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan filed an official complaint against the Dave Matthews Band yesterday, accusing them of being behind the infamous waste-dumping incident of a couple weeks ago. Apparently some businesses around the bridge where the incident happened have provided videotape that show the bus on the bridge at the time. For their part, the band still stands behind their bus driver, and said in a statement that they will be cooperative in the investigation.
