New Orleans Police have called upon the community to assist in locating a person of interest who may hold vital information concerning an instance of illegal dumping that occurred earlier this month. This request for public cooperation stems from an event reported on October 5, near the 14100 block of Michoud Boulevard.

The NOPD wishes to speak to Wilson solely for his potential knowledge on the matter. It's crucial to note that Wilson, as of this moment, is not wanted for any crimes.

The NOPD has provided a photo of the 1999 Ford F-150 and Adolphus Wilson to facilitate their identification.
