Truck Driver Arrested for Smuggling Out-of-State Recyclables
A California man was arrested last month for trying to trade in nearly 7,000 pounds of recyclables that he hauled in from out of state, officials said.
Carlos Vargas, 42, of Compton, Calif., was arrested on June 23 after he was caught on surveillance gathering thousands of pounds of recyclables from Phoenix, Ariz., that he then brought into Southern California and tried to exchange for cash in an attempt to defraud the California CRV.
