Under existing law, a person commits the crime of criminal tampering in the first degree if he or she, having no right or any reasonable ground to believe that he or she has a right, intentionally causes substantial interruption or impairment of a service rendered to the public by a utility.
This bill would further define criminal tampering in the first degree to include threatening an individual with a deadly weapon or instrument or dangerous animal with the intent to obstruct the operation of a utility.
