The police tried to induce him to come down but he didn’t have the capacitance.

He was too incapacitated to offer resistance.

He tried to steal it from a roof. Probably a roof top a/c unit? Probably 480 volts? That will wake you up, that's for sure! At least he didn't try to steal the copper at the utility padmount transformer. That would be 13,800 volts and would have turned him into a very well done hamburger.

All his relatives and friends said he always was a well grounded individual.
He probably just got con-fused!

Darwin gave up giving awards to copper thieves years ago. It’s too common.

Similar to the guys who use a match to check whether their gas tanks are full or not.
