Sgt. Roger Vargason says the renter had bypassed electric charges by tapping the wire before it reached the meter. He says the person stole between $6,000 and $8,000 in electricity during a six-month period.
Police found the man with a federal warrant and sent him back to Florida. They also arrested the renter, who had a warrant for illegal marijuana distribution in Jefferson County.
