LEE, N.H. (AP) – The town transfer station manager has been charged with stealing recylables to sell for his own profit, not the town’s.

Police Chief Chet Murch said James Andersen, 47, was arrested last week after officers saw him put metals, aluminum cans, plastic and glass bottles into his truck and drive out of the transfer station with his headlights off.

The town has put Andersen on paid administrative leave pending the investigation.
