Police said Kevin Lee Lytle, 27, and Daniel Jay Basinger, 24, both of Confluence, were shocked during the theft attempt on May 3 in Lower Turkeyfoot Township.
Both were charged Wednesday, but only Basinger was well enough to attend
his arraignment on the attempted theft charge.
Police say the incident disrupted power to area residences for about five
hours. Penelec Power Co. owns the lines which suffered $1,500 damage.
The Associated Press could not immediately reach either man for comment.
