A man was arrested for charging his Nissan Leaf electric car at a Georgia middle school in November, according to a local ABC News report.

Officers charged Kaveh Kamooneh with misdemeanor theft of what a local NBC station reported to be five cents' worth of electricity. The police officer checked with the middle school and determined that Kamooneh had not been given permission to charge his car with the school's electricity. He then spent just over half a day in jail before being released on $150 bail.

"I'm waiting for them to arrest water drinkers and cell phone chargers," Kamooneh said, according to the news report.

Kamooneh claims he has charged his car at the Chamblee Middle School multiple times, because his son takes tennis lessons there. Police became aware of Kamooneh's car after someone in the area supposedly tipped them off. An officer drove to the school and removed the plug, but was confronted by the car's owner, who said the policeman had entered his vehicle. An argument reportedly broke out, which is when Kamooneh said he was threatened with arrest and the officer told him that his car was abandoned on public property.

The school released a statement following the incident.

"On Saturday, Nov. 2, 2013, a local citizen contacted the Chamblee Police Department with a complaint that an electric car was plugged into the power outlet of Chamblee Middle School," the statement said, according to ABC. "The Chamblee Police investigated the allegation and subsequently arrested the owner of the electric car. The DeKalb County School District has cooperated in the investigation and will continue to do so."

Kamooneh told the news outlet the allegations against him are laughable, but Georgia lawyer W. Scott Smith told Mashable that the pending court case may not go his way.

"The fact that he plugged his car in without being invited to do so — he could potentially be charged and convicted with misdemeanor theft," Smith said.

When it comes time to prosecute Kamooneh, though, Smith doesn't think a conviction is likely.

"The fact is that I don't expect it to ultimately be prosecuted," Smith said. "I think it will ultimately be dismissed."

We'll all find out when Kamooneh's court date comes up in February of next year.
