Copper thieves hit the Ferguson Community Center over
the weekend.
A person or persons allegedly broke in through the backdoor of the
building, deputies say, and apparently had time to remove all the 600-volt
wiring from the building. The wire is worth an estimated $25,000. Damage to the
ceiling was estimated to be $5,000. A smoke machine valued at $150 was also
reported missing. 33-year-old Jerry Ray Bowman and 30-year-old Daniel Scott
Hartley were arrested and charged with theft after deputies allegedly found
them with a significant amount of copper wire, a breaker box and a smoke
machine.
