DNR: 2 men suspected of cutting wood from bridge with chainsaw
Two men were arrested after state officials said they were caught cutting chunks of wood from a bridge with a chainsaw in Jefferson County.
In October, a DNR officer responded after deer hunters reported the theft. The officer saw two men cutting chunks of cedar logs from the bridge.
The officer asked the two what was going on and Crandall said, "This is corporate b*******. This bridge is just rotting away."
He also told the officer, "Sorry, not sorry."
