Doesn't seem to be. These businesses in LA county have been charged:

The articles and their references don't quote any statute (the LADN has a list of defendants but no reference to criminal charges; the article specifies only that they are pursuing cutoff of utilities to those properties).

  No, it doesn't. Here are some case numbers:
You say "No", as if the article says otherwise, then quote a different source altogether. I was addressing specifically what the article did and didn't reference.

Anyway, this confirms my earlier point about these articles not identifying a related state criminal statute.

These charges are from the L.A. Administrative Code, and there is a statute specific to Los Angeles:

"Sec. 8.77. Punishment of Violations. It shall be a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine not to exceed $1,000.00 or by imprisonment not to exceed six months, or both, for any person, during a local emergency declared pursuant to this chapter, to: ... 8.77(b). Do any act forbidden by any lawful rule, regulation, order or directive issued pursuant to this chapter, if such act is of a nature as to give, or be likely to give, assistance to any national enemy, or imperil the lives or property of other inhabitants of this City, or to prevent, hinder or delay the defense or protection thereof."

Yes, because the article says otherwise.

> then quote a different source altogether

Yes, it's additional information because you're still not getting it.
