Three Milwaukee men are facing felony charges for allegedly stealing thousands of dollars in copper wire from city streetlights.
Prosecutors charged Mario Gill, Daryll Horton, and Alvin Harris – known on the street as the “Green Goblin” – following a series of targeted infrastructure thefts.
City officials say the widespread vandalism left entire neighborhoods in the dark and saddled taxpayers with over $800,000 in repair costs.
Law enforcement leaders expect the arrests to make a significant dent in local copper wire thefts.
