Two men are charged with illegal dumping after they were caught red-handed unloading trash from a U-Haul truck Wednesday, the sheriff’s office reported.

Jashawn Anthony Brown, 23, of 147 Godwin Trail, Chadbourn, and Shaun Khalil Willis, 20, of 173 Campground Rd., Whiteville, were arrested for illegal dumping, detention center records show. Willis was also charged with an outstanding warrant of felony larceny. Both were held under secured bonds.

The sheriff’s office reported that someone called 911 after spotting a U-Haul truck being driven into a bean field off Brown Maultsby Road around 4 p.m. A responding deputy found the two men “actively unloading trash from a U-Haul truck,” the report said.

The suspects were arrested at the scene, and the truck towed.
