KING WILLIAM COUNTY, Va. -- Deputies are asking for the public's help to get to the bottom of a problem plaguing two Middle Peninsula localities.
Someone has been tossing unused adult diapers along roads in King William and King & Queen counties in recent weeks, according to a news release from the King William Sheriff's Office posted Friday.
Deputies in both counties "have been on the look out for the person or persons responsible for the litter that has created a lot of conversation," officials wrote.
"Sheriff Walton and Sheriff Balderson are committed to finding those that are responsible for this continuous deliberate act," officials said.
