While on patrol, an officer spotted a white truck parked alongside a construction waste dumpster at 301 Manufacturers Road. There was a white male rummaging through the dumpster. He told the officer he scraps stainless steel and copper. A plain-view search of his truck didn't render any suspicious materials or tools used in the theft of metals. A black and green spray-painted mountain bike was mounted to the rear of the truck, but did not match the description of recent bike thefts. The man had a non-extradition traffic warrant out of Georgia, a revoked driver's license, and the tag displayed on the truck returned to a Nissan, however he was not in actual physical control of the truck. He was verbally warned about the discrepancies, as well as catalytic converter theft laws.
