The man who is facing criminal charges for digging up the hillside inside Dr. Joze Rizal Park with an excavator back in October is now building a cabin.
"I’ve now moved five times," said Steve Irwin. "I’m tired, you know? Once I get close to building something, something happens."Irwin spoke with FOX 13 Saturday about his plans to continue building his home inside the park. He said he sees nothing wrong with what he’s doing, even admitting to using heavy machinery to clear trees a few months ago.While some people also see no harm in what he's doing, environmental advocates continue to sound the alarm.
’"Back in October, Seattle police responded to Rizal Park after neighbors called 911 to report Irwin was driving an excavator into a grove of trees. Police arrested him, and he was taken to jail and then released."Since then, he’s just continued to destroy the park," said Suarez. "Where is accountability? Where is the mayor’s office? Where are the park stewards?"Recently, Seattle Parks and Recreation paid $15,000 to repair the damage caused by Irwin and the excavator.
