October 15, 2013 In Little Rock, Arkansas, 37 year old Jason Woodring was arrested by the FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force for a spree of attacks on the power grid east of the city. He knocked out power to thousands, set fire to an Entergy substation and tried to down two high voltage power lines towers using a moving train. On August 21, one of multi-state utility Entergy’s high-voltage transmission lines in Cabot was downed. A cable was set up to catch a moving train to bring down the tower, and removed bolts from the base of the 100-foot tower which also contributed to its fall. A fire was set at a control house at a substation in Keo on September 29 along with a message inscribed on a control panel "You should have expected U.S." On October 5 lines were cut, and then a tractor pulled down two electrical poles in Cabot, cutting off power to thousands. The power lines were owned by First Electric Cooperative. Woodring is a a self-employed pool maintenance worker. Officials were informed of an explosion near Woodring's house, and found a blue hose matching one found at the scene of one of the attacks. The attacks caused more than $2.1 million in damages. No one was injured, and the authorities did not disclose a motive. Woodring was charged with destruction of an energy facilities after he admitted to F.B.I. agents that he was responsible for the series of attacks starting in August.
