Williamson County residents may want to think twice about illegally dumping trash after Precinct 4 Constable Paul Leal warned he will 'pursue the offenders to the fullest extent of the law.'
In a video message on social media, Leal asks the suspect to contact their office and clean up the mess, or they get a warrant for their arrest.
"What people need to understand is this is someone’s neighborhood. It may be a little more spread out but this is property where they live and it needs to be respected," said Lieutenant Pendley. "We give them the opportunity to clean it up. They’ll take it to the landfill with the weight that we’ve determined it to be, they’ll provide us with a receipt to show the dumped the appropriate amount at the landfill. Instead of filling those felony charges we’ll give a reduced charge," Lieutenant Pendley said.
"We get down in the ankle deep water with the snakes and dig through all the trash. The guys we have working for us they’re going to do it because they are as bothered by it as the community is so they are going to get down there they’re going to get dirty and dig through the trash and find what we need to hold these people accountable," said Lieutenant Pendley.
