Summary
Wade LaLone of Diesel Freak shares his story on today's episode. He takes us through the day EPA officials and law enforcement arrived at his shop, the years of uncertainty that followed, his federal felony conviction under the Clean Air Act, and ultimately receiving a Presidential Pardon. We discuss the emotional toll the case took on him, his family, and the diesel community, as well as why he says the pardon gave him the opportunity to move forward with his life. ➨ BECOME A PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/thedieselpodcast -------------------------------- Protect your privacy with ExpressVPN: Get 4 extra months FREE!
