Tacoma Man Pleads Not Guilty to Attacks on Oregon Electrical Substations

Zachary Rosenthal faces federal charges for damaging energy facilities and stealing firearms in Oregon.

Rosenthal is accused of causing over $100,000 in damage to the Ostrander Substation and $5,000 to the Sunnyside Substation.
He also faces charges for stealing two dozen firearms from a federal licensee in Portland.
The incidents occurred in late November 2022, with a second suspect, Nathaniel Cheney, also indicted earlier this year.
Rosenthal remains detained pending further court proceedings; Cheney's trial is set for August.
Damaging an energy facility with significant damage carries a potential 20-year federal prison sentence.
