Browns tackle Joe Thomas has some problems on his Wisconsin property after being accused of multiple violations, including "discharging manure."

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has accused Thomas of performing illegal work on his hunting property near Madison. Thomas' charges include working on his land without permits, tearing down a barn without notifying the agency, and, yes, "discharging manure into a wetland," according to the Wisconsin State Journal.

Thomas will meet with agency officials Jan. 6 to discuss the charges. The potential fines are stiff, up to $10,000 for each day he is in violation.
