Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03)
DEER PARK, Texas (AP) -- A sting operation by a suburban Houston police department netted one of their own when surveillance cameras caught an officer repeatedly stealing colleagues' food and drinks from the refrigerator in the station's break room.
Deer Park police Officer Kevin Yang was charged with misdemeanor theft and suspended for 30 days without pay. Deer Park Police Chief Greg Griggs said that a class C misdemeanor conviction would not keep Yang from returning to duty.
Griggs says he authorized the video sting because the thefts have been going on for too long. Even though the items being stolen may be of trivial value, Griggs says theft is theft.
Yang tells KTRK that he was merely taking it upon himself to keep the shared refrigerator clean.
OAK PARK, Illinois – A family living in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park was shocked to discover their monthly electric bill was more expensive than most families make in an entire year: $107,625.16.
Kathy and David Rater had used 2,236 kilowatt hours the previous month and received a bill for for $276. But the following month, their bill said the couple had used closer to 1,647,499 kilowatts. There's no way the Rater's could use that much energy in one month even if they tried "The taxes (and fees alone) on the bill were $16,000,"
And to add to the anxiety, the Rater's home is signed up for automatic bill payments. "I have automatic withdrawal, and I have overdraft protection," Rajter tells the Sun-Times. "Imagine if I'd just set the bill aside — it would have wiped out my entire checking and savings."
While neither company is exactly sure how the strange meter error took place, ComEd assured the Rater's that the six-figure total would not be deducted from their account. In fact, ComEd has reset their bill to zero while they investigate the issue.
