26-year-old Asef Mohamed is facing criminal charges after climbing over a barbed wire fence, trespassing and being found naked inside a pipe at a New Jersey water treatment plant Friday.

Sergeant Robert Herring told TheBlaze Saturday morning authorities are still investigating the incident, but do not suspect Mohamed of any suspicious foul play or having the intention to sabotage the water supply. “This was a person that purposely climbed a six-foot fence with three or four layers of barbed wire on top,” he said.

The man later got stuck in the pipe and started screaming for help before authorities rushed to the scene and airlifted him to the hospital, according to WCBS-TV...

...Officials are now reportedly looking at different ways to tighten security. Nevertheless, police say they this is a clear cut case, despite not knowing the man’s motives.

“Certain people can probably take it and spin it to something it’s not, but it’s pretty cut and dry,” Herring said.

I think it is funny how this can be a clear cut case and they still don't know the motive.

A clear cut case for what?

All our systems are being reconned and tested. When is the “big” day, I wonder.

Why else does one break into a water treatment facility?

[FrdmLvr]

Gee, did anyone even wonder if he might be trying to sabotage it?

STUPIDITY..................

Here's a sure-fire suggestion - USE A SMALLER DIAMETER PIPE

Well at least he’s not as dumb as the copper thieves who target still active electric transformers. But he’s working his way up to it.

[Secret Agent Man]

I seriously doubt they can hardly stifle an eyeroll saying they have no idea about motive.

Seriously. We know what he’s doing there. There have been others doing the same thing at other places.

[NRA1995]

I’d have left him in there and cranked up the water pressure to a point where he’d have been launched out of the pipe.

[Old Yeller]

A muzzie trying to poison the drinking water.

They said it is not...?

[csvset]

Naked, inside of a pipe at a water treatment plant. Huh. Nope, nothing suspicious here. I say he needs a good water boarding.

Anybody have a number on how many of these Muslims at water treatment plants and reservoirs episodes we’ve seen over the past couple of years? I’d say at least a dozen.

[EBH]

The water plants are old and built for a different time. Plus I am sure there is some sort of engineering calc. dealing with pipe diameter and pressure flow...

What's cut and dry about it, Sherlock? Sounds to me like some hare brained scheme by DHS to test plant security, that went horribly wrong.

If a naked human being can access and get inside of a pipe, you've got problems with the pressure flow :)
