TULLAHOMA - Service is not expected to be fully restored for another two weeks after a cell phone tower in Tracy City was pulled down in an apparent attempt by thieves to get copper. Guy wires were cut this past weekend to get a 360-foot DTC Wireless tower to fall. A DTC official says no one has been arrested. Advertisement David Cleveland of CFC Recycling near Tullahoma told The Tullahoma News that scrap metal prices are at an all-time high. Copper is now selling at slightly more than $3 per pound, he said. Cleveland said a weak dollar overseas has increased scrap metal demand because foreign markets can buy more U.S. products more cheaply than ever. He said the process has driven prices up worldwide.
