A 29-year-old St. Thomas man is facing charges after someone climbed a 42-metre construction crane on a dare.
According to police, a resident called 911 after noticing a person at the top of the crane at around 9 p.m. on Tuesday.
Police, fire and ambulance all attended the scene where the man was ordered down repeatedly.
Officers made contact with the suspect via cellphone and eventually, he crawled down the crane.
The suspect was arrested and police say a 29-year-old St. Thomas man has been charged with mischief and breach of conditions for consuming alcohol.
He will appear in court to answer to the charges in August.
