Things lurking under your bed is the fixation of almost every child growing up, but a New Jersey homeowner spotted a man under the spare bedroom at 9 p.m. It turned out to be Jason Hubbard, who is charged with burglary after allegedly sleeping under the bed for three days.
Hubbard allegedly snuck into the house on May 7th while the owner took trash out to the corner. He stayed until May 10th when police pulled him from under the bed.
What was interesting was the second charge: stealing electricity. This was based on his allegedly charging his four cellphones in an electrical outlet. Even with four cellphones, the actual values of the electricity is incredibly tiny. Yet, it is an indication of the intention of the police to find any charges to throw at Hubbard for this creepy crime.
Hubbard is being held in Middlesex County Adult Corrections Center on $50,000 bail, which seems likely well beyond the reach of a guy who allegedly sleeps under the beds of homeowners.

Thanks for both. Can’t stop laughing.

A desperate attempt to vent at Obama because I referenced Obama phones? What? You’re upset that you don’t have four cell phones and only have one which has a crack? Tell you what I’ll do: I have a client, who travels the country, registering people for these free phones. No joke. The truth. He used to own a gas station. He sold it and decided to do this, instead. Why? Because registering people for free Obama phones is much more lucrative, given the huge volume of phones being handed out for free. Financially, he’s doing great. He travels city to city, constantly. I’ll see if I can hook the two of you up.
Under a bed is better than in a cardboard box in an alley
Under the bed in my house, he is going to get a pine box and a long dirt nap.
Obamaphone!!!! Turn the volume down.
Ah, Nick, if you only knew. But you don’t and I’m not going to tell.
David, Few know of your kindness to strangers. We have people like bettykath who pontificate and probably do less than 5% of what you do for the truly needy. God bless you, sir.
BFM, Should be good for a few years. After all, he’s not a banker stealing billions.
If I have made a mistake in concept, formula or math please let me know.
Watts = volts * amps
Kilowatts = watts/1000
Kilowatt hours = Kilowatts * time in hours
Most cell phones can be charged from a usb port. Usb ports supply 5 volts at from .5 to .9 amps. Assume 5 volts at 1amp.
Jason stole:
4 phones * (5 volts * 1 amp * 72 hours)/1000watts = 1.440 kilowatt hours
Average rate charged for each kilowatt hour in the US = .12
Total value of electricity stolen by Jason:
1.44 kilowatt hours * .12 = .173
About 17 cents.
How many years incarceration do we give for a theft of 17 cents?
** This depends on the assumptions that Jason’s phone can be charge from a 5 volt source at 1 amp or less, and the cost of electricity is approximately 12 cents per kilowatt hour.
What happened to the moral principle that if you have two coats, give one to him who has none? The man with a spare bedroom should be ashamed for not sharing.
” What is an Obama Phone? Is this an aspersion on a black phone?”
You do have to give credit to those democrats. Fist Gore invents the internet. Now we find that Obama is responsible for cell phones. Who would’a thunk it.
That Obama guy is pretty sharp – must’a been a double major, constitutional law and electrical engineering.
Thanks Obama. I cherish my cell phone, and now I know who to thank for it.
Under a bed is better than in a cardboard box in an alley.
Another question. You folks call medical care “ObamaCare” and now I am hearing about “Obama Phones”. What is an Obama Phone? Is this an aspersion on a black phone?
I am curious as to why they would name a county “Middlesex”. Is there some veneration of sex such that they prohibit coitus interruptus or did they mean “meddle” not middle? Was the guy under the bed to see what goes on in the middle of sex?
And the prize goes to Bam Bam for the most desperate attempt to vent at Obama. You are on a roll. Once you might even have been a roll, or droll, but now beyond lame.
It’s not funny. Too many people today are born with learning disorders, as a result of fetal alcohol environments, being meth babies, HIV babies, expectant mothers with malnutrition, exposure to disease and vermin, the effects of poverty and discrimination, epigenetics – whatever the reason, we need much more research done on possible treatments of learning disorders identified early so that people can be productive rather than wasting lives in prison. It’s easy for the wealthy to hide learning disordered children in phony businesses living off of inheritances. Those in poverty wind up in prison. It’s a colossal tragedy.
He looks upset in the photos. Perhaps he has been separated from his cell phones and has separation anxiety. His mind could be eased if they would take a photo of his cell phones now in custody and give him a photo.
this guy i know we grew up in the same neighborhood the last time i saw him his name was norman Jason norman
Jason Hubbard…Hmmm. Oh!
Old Brother Hubbard
A Modern Nursery Rhyme by Squeeky Fromm
Old Brother Hubbard
Snuck in by the cupboard,
And then crawled under the bed;
Without a peep,
He then fell asleep,
For three day’s! What a meth head!

I saw on TV that he once dated the daughter there. Maybe under the bed was his “happy space.”???

FOUR CELL PHONES? Gotta love those Obama phones!
And I thought that having dust bunnies under my bed was the worst thing that could be lurking under it.
