The Washington Post reports that police have brought charges against a homeless man in Maine who helped himself (indicating just how improper they feel this is) to an outdoor electrical outlet to charge a pair of cellphones.

A Bangor police officer checking downtown businesses discovered 23-year-old Shaun Fawster charging his cellphones in an outlet hidden behind some flowers.

Fawster was charged last weekend with theft of services, as well as carrying a concealed weapon after the officer found a folding knife (aka swiss army knife) tucked underneath his shirt.

What does charging a small cellphone cost, 2 cents? But then I know people who won't give the poor here their recycling based on some hidden principle I don't quite understand.
