He's the homeowner near the site in the 1100-1500 block of Riverwood Road, and cops say he paid trucking companies to offload. Waste there for years. Investigators caught drivers dumping on three separate dates back in December 2025 and April 2026. They even flashed a $160 payment for the drop-off, while others bragged about getting Boyd's green light and steady cash. Locals like neighbor Patrick Nolan spotted the mess over two years ago and reported it. But the dumping kept rolling up to 30 trucks a day at its peak. The city knew about it since at least 2020. Even after cameras got stolen or trashed, sparking big environmental worries as garbage flows. Right into the river. Now they've also arrested truck driver Joshua Fanslaw on one count, with warrants out for more drivers tied to the scheme.
