Arthur N. Enos Jr., 40, who now lives in Brockton, received one year of probation and was ordered to pay $500 in restitution by Judge Daniel O'Shea by Attleboro District Court, according to the Sun Chronicle. The case was continued without a finding.

Enos was accused of stealing a spool of copper wide from the North Attleboro Electric Department in 2015. He was arrested by police in Mansfield and was found with a receipt from a Bridgewater recycling business for bringing in 250 pounds of copper wire, police said.

If Enos fails to complete his probation, he risks being found guilty and faces jail time.
