San Jose Strip Clubs: Cops make arrest in copper theft
Whorton was booked on the same charges as well as an additional count of probation violation. He is currently being held without bail.
It is not known at this time if the two were involved in the recent copper thefts at Danville area parks. During the past week, town maintenance staff reported thefts at both Osage and Hap Magee parks. At Osage, 50 5-inch by 8-inch plaques were stolen from the Rose Memorial. The estimated cost to replace the plaques has been set at $10,000. At Hap Magee, wiring was cut and removed from four junction boxes, affecting pathway lights at the park facility. Cost to repair the damage has been estimated at $4,000.
Shields said the thieves are targeting the copper wire with the intent of reselling it.
“They pull the wire out, and then they take strippers or a box cutter and strip off the insulation,” he explained.
