    Arkansas Man Dies Tampering With Electric Meter After Service Shut Off

    Thursday, July 31, 2008


    CONWAY, Ark. — A Conway-area man died from electrocution while he was using jumper cables to hook up power to his house after his electricity was shut off.

    Authorities say 33-year-old Lonnie Montgomery was found dead Wednesday outside his home on Skunk Hollow Road. He was still clutching one end of a set of jumper cables. Officials say the other end was connected the electricity meter box.

    Faulkner County sheriff's Lieutenant Matt Rice says it appears that Montgomery tampered with the meter box and a plastic cover installed by Entergy Arkansas after service was cut due to nonpayment.

    Sheriff's Major Andy Shock says Montgomery was attempting to adjust or remove the jumper cables when he was electrocuted.

          Damn you'd have to be a brick shy of a load to hook jumper cables to your power supply. Then again, this wouldn't have happened if he just paid his bills.

                        I guess we will never know why his mind thought that the jumper cable method would get his power back.

                          I am just curious if he was just going to just try to jump it or if we going to try and run his house off of his car battery.

                            If only I could post some of the pics I have from thieves trying to steal copper wire.

                            Playing with "live" wires when you have no understanding of them can be dangerous to your health.
