Police said William David Salisbury, 44, was so brazen that he plugged an extension cord for his drill outside the guardhouse on Dec. 22, blowing a circuit breaker.
On Monday, Charleston police arrested Salisbury for the fourth time in five weeks and charged him with stealing from parking meters. Police believe he began to use an 18-volt cordless drill.
In all, police said the suspect stole hundreds of dollars from at least 24 meters near the state Capitol over five weeks.
Salisbury was being held Tuesday at the South Central Regional Jail on three counts of destruction of property and two of petit larceny, all misdemeanors.
A Kanawha County Magistrate Court clerk said Salisbury doesn't have an attorney.
