Between the months of July and August 2019, an unknown suspect had been dumping at a chronic dumpsite at least 5 times. Our Environmental Crimes Unit conducted an operation and was ultimately able to capture and identify the suspect on video committing said offenses. This information ultimately led to 3 felony illegal dumping and 2 misdemeanor illegal dumping warrants for his arrest to be issued. The suspect was found and arrested on September 3, 2019 by Deputy Marshals for the 5 charges.

After reviewing evidence from covert surveillance equipment, the Dallas Marshal’s Office began physical surveillance of the chronic illegal dumpsite. When the suspect returned to commit his 4th offense of the week, a detective from the Environmental Crime Unit was waiting nearby. The detective arrested the offender at the scene and identification of the individual revealed that he had illegally dumped scrap big rig tires at the site on three other occasions, earlier in the week. The offender illegally dumped more 30 big rig tires with a weight of more than 2500 lbs.
The offender was subsequently charged with 4 counts of illegal dumping, 3 were Class A Misdemeanors and 1 State Jail Felony based on the weight of each illegally dumped load of tires.

On January 8, 2017 a surveillance camera deployed by the Dallas Marshal’s Office to capture environmental offenses was destroyed by gunfire. The camera was located in an area where citizens come to enjoy the scenery of nearby Whiterock Creek.
