Littering Leads Cops To Cape Cod Man With Warrants

YARMOUTH, MA — A 47-year-old Cape Cod resident was taken into custody for outstanding felony warrants and issued a citation for littering.

A Yarmouth police officer in field training was on patrol Thursday when he observed a man walking down Route 28 drinking a “nip,” police said. After finishing it, the officer observed him throw it into brush.

When the officer confronted the man to speak to him about littering, he identified him as Walter Harrison, 47, of East Falmouth. Harrison was wanted on felony warrants and was taken into custody.

Harrison was issued a citation for littering and transported to Barnstable District Court to answer the arrest warrant.
