A Shocking Revelation

2010 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

MULBERRY, Fla. (AP) - A central Florida teen is in critical condition after authorities say he was shocked by high voltage while trying to steal cooper wire with his older sister.

Siblings Samantha Fowler and Bryant Cody allegedly trespassed onto the Mims Corporation property south of Mulberry on Wednesday. Deputies say 18-year-old Cody climbed on top of a large transformer and was shocked.

Fowler told investigators she saw her brother fall and knocked unconscious. She was able to revive him, put him in their vehicle and drive to a sheriff's substation where emergency rescue was called.

Cody was in critical condition Thursday at Tampa General Hospital.

Deputies say charges are pending.
