LOWELLVILLE, Ohio - A Lowellville resident has filed a petition for writ of mandamus against the Poland Township Police Chief Greg Wilson and the Mahoning County Sheriff Jerry Greene, according to court records.

Gary Deperro of Lowellville filed the petition on Friday, November 14, according to court records.

Within the petition, Deperro claims that both the Poland Township Police Chief and the Mahoning County Sheriff are not doing the jobs that they swore to do under the Ohio Revised Code: Enforce the law.

According to the petition documentation, Deperro claims that both law enforcement organizations have allowed waste management trucks to dump garbage at a landfill nearby to his home, and the inaction to enforce a weight limit on the road the trucks travel on has "resulted in harm."
