Hank Winchester’s effort to track down illegal dumpers and clean up neighborhoods is already seeing results.

ROSEVILLE, Mich. – A 72-year-old U.S. Navy veteran said he was badly beaten in a Roseville parking lot because he asked someone to pick up his litter.

He said he saw a car dumping bags of trash into the parking lot. Probert told the man he saw him littering and that’s when he said the man attacked him.
