Federal prosecutors have charged two men in the Christmas Day #substation attacks in #PierceCounty that caused power outages and allegedly $3 million in damage.
Prosecutors say the men attacked two #Tacoma Power and two #PugetSound Energy substations
Greenwood, in a statement to law enforcement after his arrest and being read Miranda rights, said he and Crahan had been planning to disrupt power to commit a #burglary, according to the complaint.
After the morning attacks, Greenwood said they went to a local business, drilled out a lock and entered to steal from a cash register, according to the complaint.

Vandalism at three power substations in western #Washington early Sunday cut power to about 14,000 customers
Two of the break-ins were at Tacoma Public Utilities #TPU substations and the third was at a Puget Sound #Energy station #PSE
#Tacoma Public Utilities reported vandalism at about 5:30 a.m. at one #substation followed by vandalism at a second substation
Puget Sound Energy (PSE) also reported vandalism at about 2:30 a.m. causing a power #outage at one of its substations.
"There's a good possibility they are related, we are going to be investigating to see if this was coordinated by a specific group or people, but at this time all we know is that we have burglaries where the #power was purposefully knocked out"

- No public statement from PSE found on PSE website or social media - "The company is investigating, along with authorities, and declined to comment further"

Today's Christmas morning attacks on three electrical substations in Washington State left 14,000 people without power.
Since September, there have been at least 16 attacks on the US power grid in 4 different states.
Right-wing "accelerationists" have adopted such attacks as a terrorist strategy in the past, but the recent attacks have no known links to right-wing terrorism.

Apparently it happened again: another coordinated attack on a county’s electric power substations. This time it’s Pierce County, Washington, where Tacoma is located:

So I did a post exploring how in our local experience and in academic research, incumbent sheriffs lose. Because Ed Troyer and all, it seemed like an interesting topic to research. I also found some incredible overlaps between two sheriff races in my own county separated by decades
Anyway, somewhere along the line my blog got aggregated by this NewsBreak app and the visits/comments have been a lot

How two Thurston County sheriff races (one in the 80s and one a few weeks ago) and an academic paper give clues to the future of Ed Troyer in #piercecounty

#PierceCounty WA #sheriff #EdTroyer called an #AfricanAmerican newspaper deliverer a "porch monkey" & told 911 the man had threatened to kill him. He later retracted his statement & is on trial for misdemeanor false reporting. And this #racist #cop will probably be acquitted. #defundthepolice #tacoma
