FALL RIVER, Mass. (WPRI) — A 34-year-old Dorchester man was charged with three counts of illegal dumping on Friday, according to Fall River police.

The investigation began on Aug. 5, after environmental police got a tip about a pickup truck entering the reservation near Blossom Road, towing a trailer full of construction debris.

The following day, officers discovered a large pile of debris in the reservation. Police said two more piles had been dumped in the same area on July 24 and 29.

The suspect, who has not been identified, is involved in the renovation of a multi-family home in Fall River, according to police. A criminal summons has been requested on the illegal dumping charges.

Really...... I hope his fine for dumping is way more than he had paid for or dumpster. I'm sure he was the perpetrator of the other two dates also. Gives General Contractors a bad name. There are still honest hard workers out there.
