A Wausau man arrested after intentionally damaging fiber-optic cables appeared in Marathon County Court.

The cables provided internet and telecommunications in downtown Wausau. This created a Spectrum cable outage back in August in Wausau. The man responsible was identified as George Wood. Wood appeared in Marathon County Court on Monday for the incident.

He’s being charged with criminal damage to utility property. He entered a not guilty plea to the charge against him and he’ll be back in court tomorrow.
