An official with Sho-Me Power Electric Cooperative advised the sheriff’s department by email that Structure 4 on Line 841 had been shot at with a firearm, and that four insulators had been destroyed, causing a power outage. The insulators were valued at $24.02 apiece and the labor to perform repairs was valued at $1,700.
