A federal jury has ruled a Harrison man was guilty of illegally accessing satellite television programming without paying for it.

DirecTV sued Bruce Figler, 58, a Highlands School Board member, in federal civil court, alleging Figler used unauthorized devices to intercept the company’s satellite signals for more than a year.

The jury reached a verdict late Wednesday afternoon and found Figler guilty on all four charges, including receiving unauthorized encrypted satellite transmissions and assembling a device known to intercept those transmissions.

The charges are a range of violations of the Federal Communications Act, federal Electronic Communications Privacy Act and state law, according to court documents.
