George E Wood
WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) — Wausau Police have announced an arrest in connection with Saturday’s widespread Spectrum internet and telecommunications outage.
George E Wood is expected to be in court Monday to face potential charges of criminal damage to a utility service. Officers believe he intentionally damaged lines that provide Spectrum service to residential and business customers on Wausau’s west side and to some surrounding communities.
Officers say some city-owned surveillance cameras and a tip from the public helped them identify Wood as a suspect.
The outage was reported Saturday at about 12:45 PM, and Wood was arrested later that afternoon.
No further information regarding the incident has been released.
