Police Say Men Trying To Steal Power Lines Shocked
(AP) Two Somerset County men are charged with trying to steal live power lines that were still attached to a transformer and utility poles.
Police said Kevin Lee Lytle, 27, and Daniel Jay Basinger, 24, both of Confluence, were shocked during the theft attempt on May 3 in Lower Turkeyfoot Township.
Both were charged Wednesday, but only Basinger was well enough to attend his arraignment on the attempted theft charge.
Police say the incident disrupted power to area residences for about five hours. Penelec Power Co. owns the lines which suffered $1,500 damage.
The Associated Press could not immediately reach either man for comment.

I hope the victim does not get burned with the cost of the damages. I'd blow a fuse if that happened to me.

Illuminating story on the hazards.
Powerful lines of knowledge.
Without doubt, simply glowing...

Re-volt-ing story.

Too bad the shitbirds weren't killed outright, it would have made a better object lesson that way.

At least they weren't charged with battery.

Running into some resistance?

I am sure the CHARGES will stand. I am sure there is AMPle evidence of this crime. I hope he doesn't get charged for BATTERY.
I am sure the CIRCUIT court will be interested in this one.
I'll monitor this to make sure I stay CURRENT.

Making use of your new pun generator? That could create a lot of high tension if you're not careful. :-)

Nope--people still don't learn. Having worked in substations and in plants, you hear and see the results of these idiots time and again, things like taking metal pool poles to get kites out of power lines, cutting through 2/0 streetlight cables so you can see the stars better, and of course the ever-popular copper thieves.

And oh yeah--they're gonna need some serious JUICE to escape these charges.
