The North Florida Regional Chamber of Commerce president said a Bradford deputy issued a trespass warning to a man stealing electricity from the Governor Charley E Johns Conference Center.
Pam Whittle wrote in an email that if the man were found on the county-owned property again, he could be arrested for trespassing and theft.
In an accompanying email from Deputy Logan Hough to Bradford Sheriff’s Col. Brad Smith, the officer wrote that he discovered 41-year-old Anthony Philip Desalvo behind the conference center during a property check at 1 a.m. on Oct. 11.
“Desalvo stated he was homeless and was using the outlets to charge his laptop computer and other electronics,” the deputy reported. “I explained to Desalvo that using the electricity is theft and can be prosecuted. I also issued Desalvo a trespass warning and advised him that if he comes onto the property again, he is subject to arrest.”
