Man jailed for altering electric meter

A MAN has been jailed for 10 months for altering an electric meter in his home reports La Prensa.

This was one of the first times a person has been sentenced for this offense.

La Prensa’s policy is to not name offenders of low level crimes if they are not a public fugure.

The incident was related to an inspection conducted by the company ENSA in San Antonio in mid-2014.

According to the company, irregularities in electrical connections cost the company an average of $38 million a year.

The defendant who will also face a fine could have been sentenced to up to four years.
