Too early garbageman sentenced- Working too early can now send you to jail. This was the lesson learned by a 48-year-old garbage collector for working too early to collect garbage.
The 'too early garbageman sentenced to 30 days has reportedly violated the city ordinance that only allows specified time for collecting garbage. Kevin McGill, a father of two has to face the tribulation after residents of the suburb have complained about his violation.
The well-off residents of Sandy Springs, Georgia including NBA players and Delta Airlines executives certainly have no tolerance for garbage collection before 7 a.m. As a rule, trash collection can only be done between 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. otherwise, residents could complain to 911.
McGill has worked for Waste Management Inc. only for three months when residents filed complaints against him. The 'too early garbageman sentenced for 30 days didn't have a lawyer to represent him initially. Daily Mail reported that he took a guilty plea deal after the violation.
'Too early garbageman, sentenced for early garbage collection was not able to speak when he knew he has to spend his time in the prison. The judge granted the request of Court Chief Solicitor Bill Riley to sentence him for 30 days. The solicitor even claimed that the felony meant 'automatic jail time.'
"Fines don't seem to work," Riley told WSB. "The only thing that seems to stop the activity is actually going to jail."
McGill was completely shock when he learned that he has to face sentence of 30 days for working too early. Garbageman, sentenced had to think it over again. How could he support his wife and two kids? For this reason, he is serving his violation every weekend so he could still work in weekdays.
McGill's new attorney Kimberly Bandoh now supports McGill. He has filed a motion to withdraw his plea. McGill started serving his ordeal on Feb. 20 and he still has 14 weekends to finish it. It was not the first time that Riley has sent a sanitation worker to jail for picking up garbage too early.
Yahoo reports that Riley has already sent a worker for the same reason last year. Riley remained firm that it was the right punishment for violating the ordinance for collecting trash too early. Garbageman, sentenced for 30 days should pay for it, he added.
The Root cites that Riley claimed that McGill's company should have reminded him of the city ordinance. He stated that early garbage collection is a disturbance for the residents who still wants to sleep during that time.
Earlier, Bandoh was requesting the solicitor general to just give McGill a warning. She stated that he is an employee and not the employer. But Riley stands stiff that he is responsible for his own truck.
Mc Gill, the 'too early garbageman, sentenced' is still worried about the trial. He said that it's difficult being in jail with real criminals. He just wants it to be over. McGill added he is away from his family, his wife, who has to take care of their two kids and four dogs.
