KETTERING — A 20-year-old Kettering man was ordered to clean up some trash after police said they found trash illegally dumped and traced it to him.

Police were called to the Rosewood Arts Centre, 2655 Olson Drive about 10:40 a.m. on May 20 to investigate an illegal dumping complaint. Apparently, a city worker discovered some trash in a field next to the center, according to Kettering Police Officer Michael Burke.

Police searched the trash and found an address on Delaney Street that lead them to the 20-year-old male, Burke said. The man was identified in a police incident log as Christopher Conley. He was ordered by police to pick up the trash.

The police also discovered that Conley had a warrant for his arrest that was issued by the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office for a driving under suspension charge. He was booked into the Kettering City Jail on the warrant.

Burke said individuals who take their trash to dumpsters located on the property of businesses could face misdemeanor theft of services charges, because it’s a theft of service. Businesses are paying to lease or rent a dumpster and the dumper is taking away from the service that is being paid for.

“You want to dispose of your garbage properly,” Burke said.

Very misleading given that he was actually arrested for the outstanding warrant for driving under suspension, not the illegal dumping. Not quite sure what the last paragraph has to do with this either? The guy didn't dump his trash in a dumpster at the arts center, it said it was found in field. Overall, just a poorly written article.

Brandon,
Just for clarification - illegal dumping is the term that Kettering police used.

I would rather somebody illegally use someone elses dumpster than throw the trash out a car window.

Dont get me wrong, I am happy that this guy got nailed, but come on! "Kettering man at center of LITTERING complaint arrested" would have been a more accurate title. "Illegal Dumping" is a little strong. Get a life Dayton Daily.
