A Pennsylvania man accused of dumping almost 1,000 bushels of corn on a highway in southeast Nebraska was arrested recently and charged with felony criminal mischief and depositing materials on a roadway or ditch last week.
The Lincoln Journal-Star reports that on Aug. 4 Darren C. Walp, 36, was driving for B & T Livingston Trucking at the time of the incident. He reportedly was hauling corn from the Farmers Cooperative in Reynolds, Nebraska to Hanover, Kansas.
Court documents say Walp stopped the trailer in the westbound lane of Nebraska Highway 8, opened the trailer’s hopper doors and drove off with corn still spilling out of the truck.
