BERRYVILLE, Va. - A West Virginia man — branded a "serial litterer" by a Virginia prosecutor — was banned from a border county for two years for repeatedly driving across the state line to dump trash.

General District Court Judge Norman deVere Morrison warned Parviz Modaber, 73, of Harpers Ferry, W.Va., he could go to jail if he violates the order.

"If you're found in Clarke County, bring your toothbrush," he told Modaber in court Wednesday.

Modaber, who has been diagnosed with an obsessive-compulsive disorder, has been convicted of littering four times since October 2000. After his third conviction in May 2003, he was fined $2,500, ordered to perform 300 hours of community service and given a one-year suspended jail sentence. His fourth offense came six months later.

Prosecutor Suzanne Perka asked the judge to reinstate some or all of the suspended jail time. "We tried counseling, we tried suspended jail time, we tried large fines. We were sort of at our wits end," Perka said.

Paul Morrison, Modaber's attorney, argued for additional counseling.

The judge, who is not related to the defense attorney, agreed a jail sentence would not help Modaber. But he decided banishment could.

He also sentenced Modaber to two years of probation and ordered him to pay $1,000 of the original fine.

Paul Morrison said his client has an unspecified disagreement with the state. "He takes out his dislike for the state of Virginia on Clarke County," the attorney said.

I can't beleive a judge called someone a 'serial litterer'. That is just classy.

Wait, is it his obsessive complusive disorder making him litter or just his dislike for the area and its laws!?!?!?!?

I was thinking the same thing. If its the OCD, no amount of fines or sentences is going to make any difference.

I've heard of OCD but this is just screwy. I wonder if he'll get caught again? Obviously the guy has a problem.

Yes, yes he does. He will more then likely get caught again, then serve some jail time for it. Everybody is sick of him over there by the looks of it, so there wouldn't be much mercy for him. hmm.gif
