Illegal Dumping is considered very seriously in many states around the nation. Which state are you located in? Environmental Commissions along with a specialized Task Force will work with local police to investigate, apprehend, and prosecute all involved suspects. If it’s on a smaller scale, you will typically get a misdemeanor charge, fines, and/or a possible short jail sentence.
If it’s part of an organized scheme for profit, you are looking at dire consequences. Felony count, jail time, and fines at the least. You need to consult with a Criminal Defense Attorney immediately and truthfully explain your story. A skilled attorney may be able to help negotiate a reduced penalty, fines, and sentencing.
