SEATTLE (AP) — Police have arrested a man after he spent nearly 12 hours perched in a tree in Seattle.
KOMO-TV reports (http://bit.ly/29TPCI7 ) the man climbed onto the roof of an apartment building in the Lake City neighborhood at about 2:45 a.m. Sunday. He then crawled across some power lines and made his way into a nearby tree.
Police say the incident started with some sort of domestic dispute. The man was wanted for domestic violence vandalism and also had warrants out for his arrest.
