Authorities have claimed that the huge pothole Arnold Schwarzenegger took it upon himself to fill in was actually a "service trench" being used by a gas company.
Arnie, 75, was filmed as he took to the streets of Brentwood, Los Angeles, to try to mend the holy roads himself following a backlog caused by an influx of winter storms.
The actor-turned-politician had grown unhappy at the apparent lack of urgency to repair the damage and decided to get to work with a shovel.
