"Sorry for any inconvenience caused (to the general public)." BBC Radio Derby reporter Nigel Cash said: "The pile immediately behind the trailer is probably a couple of feet high and couple of feet wide. "It looks as if whoever has dumped it there may have deliberately spread it out." Police removed the tractor and spreader after a few hours. They said the man was bailed while their investigation continues and they "consult with the Crown Prosecution Service". Anyone who witnessed the incident or has any information has been asked to contact the force.
