ATLANTA -- Atlanta City Solicitor Raines Carter told CBS Atlanta News that the city has issued an arrest warrant for the person they believe is responsible for an illegal tire dump located at 1462 Memorial Drive.

"We have filed a citation against this entity and it is our intention to prosecute this entity in court for that violation," said Carter.The city solicitor said a bank executive in New York is the person responsible for cleaning up the hundreds of tires that are piled up on the property. The arrest citation names James Dimon as the responsible person.

He's the CEO of JPMorgan Chase Bank."It is certainly our intention for him to be aware of this because we want something done about this as soon as possible," said CarterCarter said that the arrest warrant was issued because no one from Chase Bank showed up in Atlanta municipal court last week regarding the illegal dumping charges."So your tax records show that Chase Bank is the responsible party?" asked CBS Atlanta's Adam Murphy.

"Yes, as of the date of this violation," said Carter.CBS Atlanta News contacted a representative with JPMorgan Chase Bank and they said they were looking into the matter. They also said they had contacted Atlanta's municipal court and they will work with them, if in fact they are responsible.
