A decision to accept a dare to climb a construction crane has landed a St. Thomas man in hot water.
St. Thomas police say a 29-year-old man was arrested Tuesday evening after climbing a 140 ft crane on a dare. The incident was reported to police by a passerby who saw the man on the crane around 9pm. Emergency crews came to the scene and the man was told repeatedly to come down.
Eventually, police made contact with the man via cell phone and convinced him to come down.
He was arrested and charged with mischief and breach of conditions for consuming alcohol. He is to appear in court next month.
