Cable Theft

It is unlawful for any person to knowingly, with the intent to defraud, obtain, or attempt to obtain, for himself or for another, telephone or cable television service by the use of any false information, device, or scheme.

If the value of service, credit, or benefit procured is $200 or more, the party shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony. Should the value be less than $200 a Class 1 misdemeanor charge will apply. In addition, the court may order restitution for the value of the services unlawfully used and for all costs incurred by the company.
