Maine homeless man charged for charging cellphones

(CBS/AP) BANGOR, Maine - Police have brought charges against a homeless man in Maine who they say decided to charge a couple of cellphones in an outdoor electrical outlet.

A Bangor police officer checking downtown businesses says he discovered 23-year-old Shaun Fawster charging his phones in an outlet hidden behind some flowers.

Fawster was charged last weekend with theft of services, but also with carrying a concealed weapon, after the officer claimed he found a folding knife tucked underneath the homeless man's shirt.

That's seems more serious than the cellphone charges.

The Bangor Daily News says Fawster was later released from jail.
