JP Morgan Chase Accused of Tire Dumping in Atlanta
TransWorldNews (press release), , 25th February 2010

JP Morgan and Chase Chief Executive, James Dimon is wanted for illegal tire dumping in Atlanta according to reports on CBS Atlanta. Dimon, who is perhaps the least abhorred of Wall Street CEOs and has won particular favor with the White House is now suspected of allegedly dumping tires at a location in Atlanta reported as 1462 Memorial Drive.

Atlanta City Solicitor Raines Carter informed the CBS news team that a warrant is out for Dimon’s arrest.

Carter charged a bank executive in New York for the clean up of hundreds of tires. The name on the arrest citation is James Dimon.

In the report, Carter said "It is certainly our intention for him to be aware of this because we want something done about this as soon as possible."

The bank has already been notified about the charges against them but failed to appear in municipal court to stand trial for the dumping charges.

Carter said that the arrest warrant was issued because no one from Chase Bank showed up in Atlanta municipal court last week regarding the illegal dumping charges.
