Power Stolen to Heat Pot


John J. Stempka, 24, and Jennifer L. Gilligan, 20, were in the Erie County Prison early Saturday on charges they pilfered power from neighbor Michsella Babcock to run all their appliances, including heat lamps for their pot plants. Babcock alerted Penelec, her power company, when she got a $518 bill, and then discovered a wire running from her circuit breaker box to the apartment of Stempka and Gilligan, police said.
