Printer Man Apprehended On Charges of Stealing Telephone Poles
Prestonsburg - A Printer man is now facing a theft charge after he was arrested for allegedly cutting down five telephone poles and selling them for $5 each, according to the Kentucky State Police. 46 year old Amos R. Johnson was arrested last week in Printer by Kentucky State Police Trooper Shawn Little and charged with theft by unlawful taking over $300, a felony.
