A Phelps man is facing a misdemeanor charge after Geneva police say he dumped a large amount of personal trash along railroad tracks near the New York State Welcome Center.
The City of Geneva Police Department said officers arrested 43-year-old Jason Paul Skyner around 2 p.m. Tuesday following an investigation into an incident reported earlier that morning.
According to police, officers determined Skyner left a large quantity of garbage on the railroad tracks before leaving the area. Authorities described Skyner as a convicted felon in the release announcing the arrest.
Skyner was charged with third-degree criminal trespass, a class A misdemeanor. He was processed at the Geneva Police Department and released with an appearance ticket for a later court date.
Police said anyone with information related to the incident is encouraged to contact the Geneva Police Department.
