DRYDEN, Ont -- A Dryden man has been fined $1,800 for depositing garbage on Crown land.

Christian Johnston pleaded guilty and was fined $1,800 for depositing garbage on Crown land south of Dryden.

Court heard that between August 7 and September 21, 2016, Johnston was paid to take a load of garbage to the Dryden landfill. The landfill was closed when he arrived, so he transported the garbage south of Dryden to Bob Lake Road off Highway 502 and dumped it on Crown land.

Justice of the Peace Edith Baas heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Dryden, on August 3, 2017.
