SMART METER OPPONENTS ARRESTED


Two Naperville mothers were arrested Wednesday, after they tried to block utility workers from installing new smart meters. CBS 2's Dana Kozlov reports.
Two vocal opponents of Naperville’s initiative to install wireless electric meters on homes were arrested after interfering with the installation process, according to city officials.
Police are accompanying crews this week as they install smart meters at homes that previously sent away installers.
“The previous installation attempts were met with some resistance and we wanted to ensure our employees’ safety,” City Manager Doug Krieger said.
