(La Porte County, IN) - All that a cemetery maintenance man wants is for a litterbug to clean up the trash cans of garbage dumped on the grounds.

That’s according to La Porte County Police called yesterday afternoon to Sauktown Cemetery in Wills Township.

A man in charge of upkeep at the cemetery found two empty trash cans along with the garbage they once contained strewn on the north side of the property.

Police said the garbage included a large pile of peanuts, an unknown black mixture of some sort, a bag of seeds and lawn clippings.

It appears the garbage had been dumped at some point over the past three days, police said.

According to police, the caretaker told the officer he doesn’t want charges pursued if whoever’s responsible is determined.  His only wish was for the violator to clean up the mess.
