Seattle police have arrested a man after he spent nearly 12 hours perched in a tree.

KOMO-TV reports the man climbed onto the roof of an apartment building in the Lake City neighborhood of Seattle at about 2:45 a.m. one 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.

He refused to come down from the tree until about 1:30 p.m. that day.

Fortunately, no one was hurt, the man was safely extracted from his perch and taken into police custody.

Another man who spent 25 hours atop a lofty sequoia tree in downtown Seattle in March was charged with malicious mischief, but was later found incompetent to stand trial.

So, this rash of wanna-be Tarzans compels us to ask: what is it about Seattle that attracts tree-climbing nut jobs? Is it the clean air, or perhaps an excess of coffee? Inquiring minds want to know.
