Summary
A repeat offender in Maplewood, Minnesota, is facing his fourth charge for stealing wire from St. Paul streetlights—this time caught on his bike with a toolbox full of tools, costing the city $3K to fix one light. He’s already been convicted twice for similar thefts and skipped court last April. St. Paul’s streetlight repair budget has ballooned to $2.5M over recent years, up from $100K annually, with remote areas like Como Park and Phalen Park hit hardest—city officials are now pausing repairs due to the strain.
