Person Caught Flicking A Cigarette From A Vehicle While Watching The Museum Fire Charged With Littering

A man has been cited after being caught on video, flicking cigarette ashes onto the side of the road while watching the Museum Fire this week. We posted the video on our Facebook page on Tuesday, to call attention to the person. Coconino County Sheriff’s officials, along with Flagstaff Police, found the vehicle from identifying the license plate of the car in the video. Jimmy Green of Flagstaff was charged with criminal littering, which is a Class One misdemeanor and could face six months in jail if convicted. He was cited and released. Authorities say they appreciated the tip, but if you have video of someone committing a crime, notify police or deputies first instead of posting it on social media.
