JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 It\u2019s a pet peeve for a lot of people including Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters – littering. <\/p>\n
So when the sheriff was driving recently and saw someone throwing trash out of their window, the blue lights went on.<\/p>\n
Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office released some bodycam video of Waters<\/a> on the frontline of crime fighting.<\/p>\n Two officers arrived on the scene to assist the sheriff.<\/p>\n \u201cThis dude right here, man\u201d Waters said to one of the officers as he handed him the litterbug\u2019s drivers license. \u201cHe threw a cheeseburger wrapper out of the car … and then he threw a McDonald\u2019s bag out of the car.\u201d<\/p>\n The officer then approached the driver to give him his citations. \u201cYou know that was the sheriff who pulled you over right?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYes, sir,\u201d the man responded.<\/p>\n \u201cHe doesn\u2019t pull a lot of people over, man, so you\u2019re unique in that regard,\u201d the officer said.<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t be trashy: littering comes with a fine ranging from $150 to more than a $1,000 with the potential for jail time,\u201d a JSO social media post states. \u201cOur city is beautiful, and it takes all of us working together to keep it that way.\u201d <\/p>\n >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<<<\/a><\/p>\n [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/a>]<\/p>\n [SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/a>] <\/p>\n Click here<\/a> to download the free Action News Jax news and weather apps, click here<\/a> to download the Action News Jax Now app for your smart TV and click here<\/a> to stream Action News Jax live.<\/p>\n Action News Jax Top Stories<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 It\u2019s a pet peeve for a lot of people including Jacksonville Sheriff T.K.
