So they cut through the fence and proceeded to strip the station of its copper in the small hours of the morning. Detectives believe they may have been there for as long as two hours before residents heard a boom, saw a flash, and then found their electricity out.
When an employee of the electric co-op arrived, he found the fence cut open. Also awaiting him was Harlan, 44, who'd been electrocuted with 69,000 volts. What the morons didn't know is that with that kind of voltage, you don't have to touch grounded wiring to get jolted. As one employee said, it reaches out to you.
Investigators say the thieves got away with $20,000 worth of copper. Two other substations where also hit that night. But due to criminal rules of etiquette, Harlan's accomplices didn't stick around to assist their fallen comrade. Police have made no other arrests in the case.
That mug shot is going to give me nightmares for a month.

Posted 02/01/2010 at 04:56:17 PMWhy did they cut the fence? With ears like that couldn't he have just flown over it?
Posted 02/01/2010 at 05:14:24 PMThese lunatics need to be saved from sure death via the gigantic bug zapper.
Can't law enforcement monitor/regulate scrap metal dealers?
Posted 02/01/2010 at 05:35:39 PM$20k in Cu is a notable amount of 'scrap'.
Hey, save a life--stop Cu theft, good all the way around.

Posted 02/06/2010 at 01:07:32 PMHis buddies left him for dead; no honor amongst thieves.
20K is a high price for a Darwin Award.
Posted 02/09/2010 at 04:38:03 PMThis photo is not Guy "Frogg" Harlan. It is actually his father Guy "Ace" Harlan. Frogg was my cousin. His father, my uncle. I suggest to Pete Kotz and the rest of the staff that before you call a deceased man a "moron", especially in the headline, you get your facts straight and not make a moron of yourselves. To any other Harlan family member that reads this, I am sorry for the ignorance and the lack of sympathy the world has. I have read many articles about Frogg and all the comments others have written and it has sickened me. For those who may not know who I am, I am Sarah (Harlan) Matthews. I am Donnie Harlan's youngest child. Although I haven't seen most of the Harlan side in many years, I will always remember Frogg the way he should be remembered. A funny, sweet and kind man. Thank you.

If this was one of my family members, Id keep that to myself sweetness.
Posted 02/25/2010 at 03:45:22 PMOk, I'm pretty sure that the picture isn't Guy Harlan or his father. The picture doesn't have a caption of who it is (most pictures that represent the actual people in the stories will have a description under them). Also, if you move your mouse over the picture, it says inbreds_150.jpg. This means the picture was probably just one from a file and added to the story for emphasis. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Posted 02/25/2010 at 03:47:49 PMi am not saying what he was doing was right in any way... because it wasnt. and in all honesty... it is a typical "Harlan death". If you know anything about the Harlan family, you would know that. But for this man to be laughed at and made fun of is wrong. Everyone has a family member like this... someone that breaks the law and does bad things for money. He wasnt a bad or stupid person but he made some very bad ans stupid decisions. And this last one caused him his life. isnt that enough? no. now he gets made fun of in death. its just not right. and if this was your family member, adn you have a heart, sweetness, you would feel the same way. you just dont know until it happens to you.
