electricty theft

[Demetrius]

Ive been accused of stealing electricity for 30 days ...how much jail time is that if any and can there be criminal charges brought against me..

 

[disagreeable]

It depends on the circumstances. It will certainly involve restitution and will likely involve jail time.

 

[mightymoose]

Restitution yes, jail time no. If you pay what you owe you might be able to prevent criminal action altogether.

The advice everyone gave you seems spot on, OP.
I'm curious as to who has accused you of stealing electricity?
Is it the power company?
Is it your landlord?


Power companies use this method to help them detect thefts:

It can get sticky, OP:
