TAPPER: Welcome back to THE LEAD. We are using our Pop Culture Lead in a sneaky way today. You can tell from the "Magnum P.I." clip we ran before to bring attention to the horrific drought in California. What does it have to do with "Magnum P.I.?" Well, lawmakers in California have ordered everyone to sacrifice and cut back on using water, but Magnum apparently will not be denied. This is an aerial shot of the house actor, Tom Selleck, shares with his wife. It's an oasis or green in an otherwise dusty land. The veteran actor has now been accused by a municipal water district of stealing truckloads of water from a public hydrant in another district. According to the complaint filed Monday, the district spent $22,000 on a private investigator to investigate the man who played a P.I. on TV. CNN did reach out to Tom Selleck's representatives. We were told they were checking to see if any comment would be made. We will check back. Make sure to follow me on Twitter @jaketapper and also @theleadcnn.
