The man who vandalized power lines and transmission towers in 
Wisconsin is sentenced to 13 years in prison
for hiding deadly cyanide in a Chicago subway tunnel.

Joseph Konopka of De Pere told federal Judge Wayne Andersen in Chicago 
Thursday he really didn't have "a real good reason" when asked why he 
went on the vandalism spree.

Konopka, who calls himself "Dr. Chaos," will be sentenced in federal 
court in Wisconsin for his sabotage of power lines, air traffic 
control signals, and radio transmission towers.

Judge Andersen says his sentence in Wisconsin is likely to be 
consecutive to his 13-year term for taking two bottles of cyanide from 
an abandoned chemical warehouse and hiding them in the subway tunnel.

Defense attorney Matthew Madden says his client's penchant for 
destruction and bizarre behavior "stems from an abnormal maturation 
process."
