The trap has been set for Connecticut’s renegade beefalo TIVERTON, R.I. (AP) — A Rhode Island man has been ordered to get rid of the unwashed clamshells that have been giving off a sickening stench since he used them to repave an access road.

The Tiverton man’s neighbors say the smell has been making them ill since shortly after he dumped the shells on the access road two weeks ago. The putrid smell is caused by the meat on the shells decomposing. Video shows maggots crawling all over the road.

A Tiverton police officer hand-delivered a cease-and-desist order to the property owner on Friday. He has until the end of the week to remove the shells. Town officials say he could be charged with a misdemeanor if he does not comply.

The property owner has refused to comment.

Neighbors put up signs including: “Honk if it stinks.”

Police and the state Department of Environmental Management are investigating.
