“Don’t be stupid and careless like whoever did this. Help keep Miami Township clean and beautiful by disposing of trash properly,” police posted on Facebook.
Meanwhile, in 47 years on South Union Road, Johnson said he’s used to litter. But this is memorable.
“They throw paper out and everything, pop bottles,” he said, but never before a hot tub.
