Gloucester County Prosecutors Office press release
Woodbury NJ (December 4, 2014)–In an investigation by the Clayton Police Department, under the direction of Officer in Charge Sgt. Ron Koller, an employee of a construction contractor has been charged with illegally dumping trash in Gloucester County’s Scotland Run Park, located in the Borough of Clayton.
David H. Walters Jr. (DOB 7/29/66), of Gloucester City NJ, was charged 12/3/14 with a third-degree offense under the state’s Disposal and Transportation of Solid Waste statute. Bail on the offense was set at $7,500 by Municipal Court Judge Thomas North. He has not been apprehended at this time.
Walters was an employee of Monroe Township NJ-based LAB Builders, whose owner is believed to have been unaware of the dumping of trash originating at a Camden County worksite. The owner has offered to clean up the refuse, none of which was hazardous materials.
An investigation was begun the week of 11/17/14 after several complaints of illegal dumping in the county park. Construction debris from a home renovation was found in several piles in the same area of the park.
