PORTLAND, Ore. — A second Washington state man has pleaded not guilty to federal charges accusing him of damaging power substations in Oregon in 2022.
On Nov. 24, 2022, Rosenthal is accused of damaging the Ostrander Substation in Oregon City, Oregon, and four days later, he’s accused of damaging the Sunnyside Substation in Clackamas, Oregon, according to the indictment. Nathaniel Cheney, of Centralia, Washington, pleaded not guilty in April in connection with the attacks after he was indicted in March on two counts of damage to an energy facility. He was released from custody on conditions with a jury trial scheduled to begin in August.
