A cell tower was destroyed in an apparent act of sabotage in southern Nebraska, officials say. The Furnas County Sheriff’s Office began investigating the downed tower on Saturday, March 4, and deputies arrived to find the structure completely toppled in a field south of the small town of Oxford, according to a sheriff’s office release.

“Preliminary findings indicated intentional damage to a guide wire anchor that resulted in complete structural failure of the tower causing it to fall,” the sheriff’s office said.

Verizon Wireless, the sheriff’s office, area firefighters and the local public school district all had equipment fixed to the tower, according to the release. Verizon has since put up a temporary tower “to provide limited cell phone coverage in the area.”

Officials estimated the cost of the damage to be $575,000.
