“It’s beyond just frustrating. It’s devastating,” Taylor told Jaquez.

Taylor said he and many of his neighbors have paid up to $500,000 for their homes and now they’re concerned about environmental and health hazards the tires are causing.

“I have three children. I am terrified because I live directly down the street in front of those of tires,” Taylor said.

Jaquez learned Wednesday evening that Union City police are searching for man they say has been illegally dumping the tires along Oakhurst Place.

Investigators have been working around the clock to catch Donald Leverette after residents filed their initial complaint with the city’s code enforcement department.

Police believe the 34-year-old suspect has dumped more than 1,000 tires along the street.

“I don’t think it is humanly possible for one guy to have dropped off all of those tires,” Taylor said.

Detectives echo that sentiment and say that’s something they’re looking into. As for residents, they just want these tires removed.
