Two Men Arrested For Sabotaging Four Electrical Power Substations in Washington State January 04, 2023 3 Comments Facebook The FBI arrested two men for sabotaging four electrical power substations in Washington State late last month. The two men, Matthew Greenwood, 32, and Jeremy Crahan, 40, were caught on surveillance video at the Tacoma facilities. Thousands lost power after the two suspects set fire to the Puget Sound Energy substation on Christmas Sunday. “At 7:21 pm, on December 25th, 2022, dispatchers received a call of a fire at the Puget Sound Energy substation at 14320 Kapowsin Hwy E. Deputies, Firefighters and Puget Sound Energy employees responded to the scene. The fire was extinguished and the substation secured. Power was knocked out for homes in Kapowsin and Graham. The suspect(s) gained access to the fenced area and vandalized the equipment which caused the fire. There are no suspects in custody at this time.” the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department said. “This is the 4th incident at a Power Substation in South Pierce County on Christmas Day. All law enforcement agencies in the county have been notified of the incidents and will be monitoring power substations in their area.” the Sheriff’s Department added. Greenwood and Crahan were arrested on December 31 and charged with conspiracy to damage energy facilities. Greenwood also faces one count of possession of an unregistered firearm, ABC reported. ABC News reported: Two men have been arrested and charged for allegedly sabotaging four electrical power substations in Washington state, leaving thousands without power on Christmas, according to newly unsealed court documents. Matthew Greenwood, 32, and Jeremy Crahan, 40, both of Puyallup, Washington, were arrested on Dec. 31 in connection with the attacks, federal prosecutors said Tuesday. They both have been charged with conspiracy to damage energy facilities, while Greenwood also faces a count of possession of unregistered firearms, according to the criminal complaint. Surveillance footage from one of the attacked substations allegedly captured Crahan’s vehicle — a 1999 Dodge pickup truck — and one of the suspects at the scene at the time of the attack, according to the complaint. FBI investigators were able to identify two phones in the vicinity of each of the four substations during the attacks, which led them to Greenwood and Crahan, according to the complaint. FBI then put both under “essentially continuous surveillance” in the days leading up to their arrest, the complaint stated. Greenwood was detained while wearing clothing that matched in part what was seen on the suspect in the surveillance footage, and two unregistered short-barreled firearms — including one equipped with a make-shift silencer — were found during a search of his trailer, according to the complaint.

Keep that in mind... Who would've ever guessed? Assuming this story is accurate, and these guys really did sabotage four power plants... What, these guys weren't smart enough to leave their GPS-enabled phones at home? Note: even an older phone without GPS can be tracked by its proximity to cell phone towers. Not with the few feet of resolution that GPS affords, but within a distance less than the tower-to-tower spacing. I wonder what their motive was? Seems crazy that anybody would do such a thing just for kicks. (But a lot of people are crazy, I know.) Seems more likely that somebody paid these fools to do it.
Allen County, IN (Ft. Wayne) was the birthplace of that. Yes, it's still probably being used. I'd be interested in that, too. From what I've read, the vandalism was to cut power to nearby businesses to disable alarm systems so they could do burglary.
“I am not one of those weak-spirited, sappy Americans who want to be liked by all the people around them. I don’t care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it. My affections, being concentrated over a few people, are not spread all over Hell in a vile attempt to placate sulky, worthless shits.” - William S Burroughs
I found a gal for you. She's got a pretty face. Two Charged In Christmas Day Attacks On Washington Power Grid Wow, if that's the case, then they really are dumb. Risking what -- 10- 20 years? -- in federal prison to steal a few hundred or maybe a few thousand dollars worth of stuff? If I was one of the people whose power was cut off, I would sue those dudes. Probably end up totally owning their trailer and any old vehicles on cement blocks around it.
So… These guys used a .22 caliber rifle to take down a power grid. One is a tube fed .22, and the other looks like a .410 shotgun, single shot. So there’s a charge of unregistered weapons. I am having a fuck of a time digesting this as being the truth for a number of reasons. I can go on about it for at least a half hour but I’m not going to waste my time. Because what I am seeing, and what they expect me to fucking believe is hard to make congruent. "Call Me Ishmael" -Ishmael, A character from the book "Moby Dick" 1851.

You see that? That's why I hang out here. Smarts comin' out y'all ears. Now I'm feelin' kinda stupid for not takin' that old lady's $9,000 mansion in the Meadow Ghetto (Meadowbrook Add. New Haven) when she almost kilt me in 2013 and my first day in the hospital exhausted her insurance. But you gotta admit, those were some damn fine lookin' weepons... FBI investigators were able to identify two phones in the vicinity of each of the four substations during the attacks...
...were found during a search of his trailer...
TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people’s door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy…
but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone.”
