KINLOCH, Mo. – Prosecutors have issued a criminal summons against a man accused of illegally dumping car parts in a field in Kinloch.

John White, 26, of St. Louis County, faces a criminal summons for dumping in an unlicensed area, according to a news release from the St. Louis County Police Department.

White allegedly dumped car parts in the City of Kinloch on June 13, 2024, in a field near Booker Avenue and Dr. Rev. Earl Miller Street.

According to a probable cause statement obtained by FOX 2, surveillance footage showed a suspect, later identified as White, and a vehicle that included a logo that read “What Chefs Want.”

Sometime later, an officer responded to What Chefs Want and met with a manager in the company. The officer showed the manager photos of the truck and suspect, and the manager later noted that it was a company truck and that White was believed to be using.

After that, an officer met with the manager and White in a conference room. White admitted to using the company truck to dump car parts in Kinloch and admitted he wanted the items out of his yard, per the probable cause statement.

While a criminal summons was formally issued against White on Feb. 6, according to Missouri court records, police say he is currently not in custody.

The St. Louis County Police Department’s Central County Precinct are handling the investigation.
