Unknown contractors wanted for illegal dumping By Melissa Cantu Trevino melissa.trevino@aliceechonews.com Alice Echo-News Journal

Roofing material was illegally dumped on private property off of FM 3087 in Jim Wells County.

Over several days, 22 loads of roofing shingles and gravel roofs were illegally dumped by unknown roofing contractors.

The lock was broken, said Hector Zertuche Sr., Environmental Crime Officer with the Jim Wells County Sheriff's Department. The gate was broken and they gained entry.

Witnesses saw a white pickup truck with hydraulic lift trailer was seen in the area.

The land owner will now have to pay between $5,000 to $6,000 to get rid of the material, Zertuche said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the JWC Sheriff's Department at 361-668-0341.
