This just in from the State Police press office: An errant trash bag led to an arrest last Friday. This is why one should take those "no dumping" signs seriously:
On September 3, 2010, Trooper Elinor Pruiksma out of SP Margaretville arrested Joseph Melville, 49, of Hobart, NY for Unlawful Disposal of Solid Waste, a violation of Environmental Conservation Law. The arrest resulted after receiving a complaint of a trash bag being dumped in the Town of Harpersfield. Mr. Melville was issued an appearance ticket returnable in the Town of Harpersfield Court on September 13, 2010.
