MOUNT PLEASANT — Trash bags filled with regurgitated food have been found littering the former Pleasant Lawn School area and in roadside ditches northeast of Mount Pleasant over the last three years.

Late last summer, the Henry County Sheriff's Office thought the littering had stopped. Then, on April 11, the office received another call.

"The last call was four bags," said Deputy Dan Wesely. Over the last three years, dozens of bags may been dropped, Wesely said.

"There is not a lot of detail on who or why (this is happening)," Wesely said. "It's gross to think of what that was (in the bags)."

The bags have been of various sizes and have been filled only with regurgitated foods.

The office has done everything it can to find a suspect, including having the contents of the bags tested. The results of the tests have been entered into evidence and are not being released.

The office also has traced buckets that bags have been found in back to the manufacturer, looking for the buyer and a suspect. It was unsuccessful.

"We have done everything short of surveillance out there 24/7," Wesely said. "We have no ideas right now, no leads or anything about where to look."

Anyone with information on the case should call (319) 385–2712.
