CISNE, Ill. - A recently fired employee of Trunkline Gas has been jailed on charges he turned off the natural gas supply to the entire city of Fairfield, Ill., in the early morning hours Sunday. George Matchett, 55, of rural Cisne faces local charges of burglary and interference with a public utility for allegedly breaking into a Trunkline Gas monitoring station north of Wayne City, Ill., closing a valve that halted the flow of gas to more than 2,700 Fairfield customers.
