On December 15, 2011, two power poles and a residence were damaged and Marathon County Crime Stoppers is asking for your help to identify the person responsible.
At about 1:00 p.m. on December 15, 2011, two power poles and electrical service were damaged on Stettin Drive near County Road O in the Town of Stettin.
