TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — Two men have pleaded guilty to vandalizing power substations in Washington state in attacks that left thousands without power on Christmas Day.
According to the plea agreement, Crahan, 40, and Greenwood, 32, damaged four power substations on Dec. 25, 2022.
The substations targeted were the Graham and Elk Plain substations operated by Tacoma Power and the Kapowsin and Hemlock substations operated by Puget Sound Energy.
In all four cases, the men forced their way into fenced areas surrounding the substations and damaged equipment to cause a power outage.
Greenwood, also of Puyallup, pleaded guilty in April to conspiracy to destroy energy facilities.
