(Donaldsonville, LA) -- An Ascension Parish, Louisiana government employee is out of a job after his arrest for urinating into the water supply at a Donaldsonville water plant.

Ascension Parish deputies arrested 57-year-old Michael Mastin of Baton Rouge on two counts of contaminating water supplies and two counts of criminal damage to a critical infrastructure.

Surveillance video caught Mastin in the act.

Parish officials assure residents that all water samples meet all safe water drinking requirements.
