Man charged in Texarkana utility truck, phone theft

A man has been charged with stealing a truck and meter-reading phones from Texarkana Water Utilities, as reported by Texarkana Today.

The allegation

The case involves a truck belonging to Texarkana Water Utilities and phones used for meter reading. The charge identifies an alleged theft; it does not establish guilt.

What the equipment is used for

The phones are connected to the utility’s meter-reading work. The truck and phones are the property at the center of the charge.

Court process

The case will move through the court system. A charge is the start of a criminal case, and the defendant remains legally presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.

Texarkana Water Utilities is the public utility identified in the case. The available report does not establish the man’s name, the exact charges filed, the value of the property, when the alleged theft occurred, or a court date.
