Orange police have arrested a local man who is accused of stealing from a power company by using fake names to open accounts, then not paying the bills.
The investigation into Frank Woodruff Rogers II, 36, of Orange, started when United Illuminating Company filed a complaint.
Officials from the company said someone was creating false identities for accounts and obtained free electricity until the company determined that the identity was fake each time, police said.
Rogers was arrested on May 17 and charged with third-degree identity theft, criminal impersonation and sixth-degree larceny.
He was released on a promise to appear and he is due in court on May 31.
