NEWARK, NJ — Luis Santander, 35 of Irvington, and Marlon Santander, 33 of Newark, who are brothers, were arrested for an incident of illegal dumping on Monday, Jan. 15.
At approximately 10 p.m., members of the Illegal Dumping Task Force were conducting surveillance in the area of McCarter Highway and Verona Street, when they observed a white pickup truck stop. The driver and front passenger exited the truck. Both men went to the rear of the truck and began throwing debris from the bed of the truck onto the ground. The trash included a ceramic toilet, which shattered when it struck the pavement, and several large plastic trash bags filled with construction and household debris.
Detectives arrested both men without incident. Each is charged with illegal dumping and illegal transport of solid waste. The pickup truck was towed and is subject to forfeiture depending on the disposition of the case.
These charges are merely accusations. Each suspect is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
