Two homeless Marathon men were arrested Tuesday night for dumping trash at the 15th Street utility pole.
The Sheriff’s Office ultimately removed approximately 500 pounds of trash, furniture and debris from the site where homeless often congregate.
Robert Steven Zambri, 69, and Bradly Karl Dolan, 60, were each charged with illegally dumping. Dolan was additionally charged with resisting arrest.
Four Deputies and a Sergeant went to the utility pole at approximately 9:30 p.m. to investigate a complaint of heavy debris and trash at the light pole. They arrived to find several men known to them as homeless who stay in the area. The Deputies explained the litter law regarding the amount of furniture and trash that accumulated near the light pole.
Both Zambri and Dolan identified some of the furniture and debris as theirs.
Dolan refused to help pick up the trash. Dolan stiffened up and refused to be handcuffed when informed he was being arrested for violating the litter law.
Marathon Fire Rescue firefighters also responded and hosed down the light pole and surrounding area in an effort to further clean the location.
