NEAR EDINBURG – A Rio Grande Valley man was arrested Wednesday on illegal dumping charges.

Hidalgo County Precinct 4 constable J.R. Gaitan said using surveillance cameras to catch violators is proving to be successful.

“We spotted the truck and he confessed. He gave us a statement that he did so we took action right there and then,” he said.
