CHARLESTON, W.Va. - One Fayette County man is dead after he and an accomplice tried to steal copper wire by shooting down high-tension power lines with a rifle, authorities said.
Fayette deputies and rangers from the National Parks Service found the man's body tangled up in downed lines Wednesday morning in the Beury Mountain Wildlife Management Area near Thurmond. The apparent cause of death was electrocution.
The remote area where the body was discovered is near Babcock State Park.
Emergency dispatchers sent officers to the area after a 911 call.
The man's name has not been released, according to a statement from the sheriff's department.

There have got to be easier ways to steal copper.
I guess aluminum isn’t as valuable these days?

The man’s name has not been released, according to a statement from the sheriff’s department.
So they are just calling him “Sparky” for the time
being.
