According to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, some would-be thieves bit off more than they could chew when they cut down a 150-foot cell tower for scrap.
Deputies said the guy-wires were cut to the tower on Wednesday night, April 3, 2019 and the suspects came back Saturday to steal aluminum and other scrap metal from it.
“I got in law enforcement when I got out of the service in ’96. I’ve never seen a cell phone tower cut down before,” said Lt, Bobby Jeter with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office.
