NORWALK, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut police have charged two people with cutting more than 2,000 fiber optic cables, leaving over 40,000 homes and businesses without internet service in the southwestern part of the state.
Norwalk police said they arrested Asheville, North Carolina, residents Jillian Persons and Austin Geddings on Saturday during a surveillance operation. Both were charged with larceny and criminal mischief crimes, as well as interfering with police. Persons also was accused of giving a false statement to police.
Both were detained on $200,000 bail. It was not immediately clear if they have lawyers who could respond to the allegations.
Police said they responded to the reported damage of the Optimum cables on March 24 in Norwalk and quickly identified suspects and their vehicle. Authorities did not release details of how they made the identifications.
Officers arrested Persons while staking out a business in Bridgeport, and Geddings was found a short time later in a wooded area in Stratford, police said Sunday.
Police said Persons and Geddings are scheduled to appear in court April 11.
The outages caused by the cable cutting have since been restored, according to Optimum’s website.
Strange as we just had an internet outage for 2 days. When I called spectrum for an update, they told me a line had been cut but didn't give me more specifics. I live in Missouri.
It's interesting that you consider it a prison, as while the internet is extremely engrossing and there is a problem with being chronically online, it is the internet that allows us to rapidly disseminate information against their agendas on a global scale. It's what allows us to see what they're doing, and share that with other people.
The internet is an important weapon for both sides..but we are using it more effectively.
To reduce the internet to that is kind of silly, but I get your intended messaging and I agree that you should absolutely be able to do that, and you should be able to do that without fishing or grilling becoming a political outrage

Why do you think their mugshots are not out yet?
I know right? Because they aren’t straight white males.
