David Fischer, manager of a Texas site for Marathon Digital, was acquitted on charges alleging the site violated local noise ordinances.
A Texas jury has acquitted the plant manager of a Marathon Digital mining site near Granbury, Texas, finding him not guilty of 12 noise violations amid complaints from local residents.
Marathon’s site manager David Fischer was found not guilty by a six-person jury in a case involving allegations that Marathon’s Granbury site operated at a noise level that could cause hearing loss, local outlet the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported on July 10.
Fischer’s acquittal comes after a lengthy July 8 TIME report that detailed claims by over 40 people in the Granbury area who said they suffered adverse medical conditions they believed were caused by noise from Marathon’s site.
