Deputies: Man Dies Trying To Cut Down Power Pole, Steal Wire

POSTED: 10:56 am EDT August 30, 2006
UPDATED: 11:28 am EDT August 30, 2006

GREENVILLE, S.C. -- Greenville County deputies said that a man who died Wednesday morning in the Dunean community was electrocuted trying to steal wire from a power pole he cut down.

Master Deputiy Mike Hildebrand said that deputies got a call from Duke Energy at about 4:30 a.m. that a man was under a fallen power pole in a field off Hale Street.

Duke Energy workers had responded to reports of a power outage in the area.

When they got there, they discovered the fallen pole and the body.

A bow saw, wire strippers and other tools were found near the body, Hildebrand said.

Thats my home town. (One over from the X5 plant FYI) Why am I not surprised to read this? Almost as good as when the SC Dept of Agriculture chairman was arrested for illegal cock fighting.

I'm reconsidering my belief in Darwinian Evolution. If it worked the way it's suppose to why does it seem we have more and more of these idiots? Must be those random mutations I guess.

The King of Darwins is the guy that strapped a JATO to his impala a few years back.
