Copper Worth Dying For
An unnamed Oklahoma City man was electrocuted while attempting to steal copper from an energized light pole. Oklahoma Gas and Electric (OG&E) stated the victim came in contact with 480 volts AC while attempting to steal the bare copper ground wire.
According to OG&E, stealing copper is a quick and deadly way to make some extra money due to the price of copper.
