Convenience Centers and Illegal Dumping
There has been an influx of incidents involving subjects dumping trash outside of the gates of convenience centers throughout Rutherford County when the convenience centers are closed. It should be noted that this act is defined as LITTERING.
On 01/16/2024, the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office responded to multiple reports of littering at multiple convenience centers. All of the incidents were committed on Monday 01-15-2024 when the convenience centers were closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. These acts were investigated and resulted in several subjects being ARRESTED for littering. The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind everyone that this will not be tolerated, and these actions will be investigated with criminal charges being pursued.
In this case, littering is a Class 3 Misdemeanor and punishable by a fine of no less than $250.00.
