FAIRFAX, Vt. (WCAX) - Vermont police have identified the person they say is responsible for a case of chronic littering in Franklin County.

In February, we told you about efforts to clean up scenic areas in Georgia and Fairfax, as state police investigated what they called “ongoing egregious littering incidents.”

Monday, David Peake, 68, of Georgia, was fined $800 for those incidents.

Police say a local group that worked to clean up the trash helped detectives identify the culprit.

2. Hate it when people heave their trash out of an open car window.

Litter, trash, cigarette butts tossed in the street.

3. I live on a busy road and we constantly pick up fast food bags, cigarette packs, beer bottles, etc.

Sheesh. Can’t believe people do this crap. I’m glad they caught that litterer.

4. Devoid of any sense of community or appreciation of commonwealth.

But yeah it’s disgusting. One time someone threw out a whole case of 24 empty beer bottles into my yard.

Thankfully that was just one time.
