JONANCY, Ky. — A report of stolen telephone cable resulted in the arrest of a Pike County man on Friday.
AT&T contacted Kentucky State Police to report the theft of about 600 feet of cable from poles in Jonancy. While patrolling the area later, a state trooper spotted wires stripped of their insulation around a camper on Jonancy Lane.
The occupant of the camper, identified as Steven Musick, 46, was not there when police arrived, but he was found a short time later.
Musick reportedly told police that he lived in the camper, but denied stealing any telephone cable. However, his girlfriend told police he had told her he found a way to make extra money, but wouldn’t say how.
Musick was arrested and charged with theft, criminal mischief and possession of burglary tools.
