Suspects arrested in rural Westby vandalism case
The Vernon County Sheriff’s Office arrested three individuals they believe were involved with damaging an AT&T building in the Town of Coon.
An AT&T employee called the sheriff’s office Tuesday around 12:02 a.m. to report entry and vandalism to the communications facility along Hwy. 14 in rural Westby.
The first deputy sheriff who arrived on the scene saw the fence was damaged and found two men inside the fenced-in area. Both were arrested. The men were Benjamin Lee Britt, 47, and Jesse James Britt, 46, from Viroqua.
