“We are sending a loud and unmistakable message: Flint is not your dumping ground. If you dump here, we will find you, and we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law,” said Flint Police Chief Terence Green. “This is a serious violation of the City Charter, and we will come after you, your property, your business, and your employees.”
