BOISE, Idaho — The Boise Police Department has identified one of two men seen dumping a huge truckload of trash on Cooper Court Saturday night.
Officers say around 7:30 p.m, the suspects emptied a U-Haul truck filled with garbage, mattresses, a washing machine, small appliances, clothing, and other items.
Police announced on Wednesday that they have identified the driver of the rental truck and charges against them are pending.
The incident was caught on a surveillance camera. Police say these household items were dumped to avoid disposing of them legally.
The trash blocked access to nearby homeless shelters and prevented emergency services from getting into the area.
Surveillance photos show what the area looked like before the U-Haul arrived and after it left.
