CHARLESTON WV:
Man arrested for fourth time in parking-meter break-ins
William David Sailsbury, 44, of Charleston, was arrested Monday for the fourth time in a little more than a month and charged with stealing money from parking meters near the state Capitol.
At one point last month, Sailsbury was so brazen he plugged an extension cord for his drill into the outside of the Capitol guardhouse on Piedmont Road,
said Randy Mayhew, deputy director of the state Division of Protective Services.That was on Dec. 22. Sailsbury's drill blew a circuit breaker in the guardhouse, leading to his first arrest by Capitol police.
Charleston police had arrested him a few days before for breaking into meters in the East End neighborhood surrounding the Capitol. Police say Sailsbury got between $150 and $170 from breaking into seven double-headed parking meters the night of Dec. 22. It cost about $293 to replace the collection areas inside the meters.
After Sailsbury received a personal recognizance bond - a get-out-of-jail-free card - from a Kanawha magistrate,:lol: police believe he was back at the Capitol the next night. They failed to capture him after a brief chase.
After that, police believe, Sailsbury learned one lesson and began using a cordless drill.
On Jan. 17, two more meters were broken into. Once again, police suspected Sailsbury, who was recorded on surveillance video walking across the Capitol campus at all hours of the night.
