OCSD tracks down illegal dumper by own mail

The Oakland County Sheriff’s Department responded to a call of illegal dumping at the Indian Lakes Apartments on Lapeer Road on Sept. 29.
According to an OCSD report, illegal dumping had taken place on Lake Village Boulevard in the complex. The complex manager told an OCSD deputy that a 40-year-old Leonard man had dumped trash bags and other items on complex property.
She said two maintenance people witnessed the dumping. One of the witnesses told the deputy he had approached the subject and told him he could not dump on the property because the dumpsters were for residents. He said the man acknowledged him and continued to drop bags off at the intersection.
The deputy opened one of the bags the subject left behind and recovered an envelope with the man’s name on it. The vehicle seen in the complex was registered to the same name on the envelope.
A ticket for illegal dumping was mailed to the man.
