The Polk County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a Haines City man. He is facing two counts of felony commercial dumping.

was on the roadway.
The second dumpsite was
located about 3 miles away. Detectives obtained a photo- graph of the truck used to

Kallinicos was released from the Polk County Jail posting bond.
