Spider Dan a 'public nuisance'
Relevant offers
A man known as "Spider Dan" who scaled a 58-story San Francisco skyscraper has been cited for public nuisance and trespassing.
Police say Dan Goodwin was issued the misdemeanour citations and released after he finished the climb around 5.30pm Monday.
The 54-year-old Lake Tahoe resident used only suction cups to scale the Millennium Tower residential complex. It took him about four hours to complete the 197-metre climb and unfurl an American flag at the top.
San Francisco prosecutors say they have not yet received the case nor decided whether to formally charge Goodwin, who says he was trying to raise awareness of what he considers to be the vulnerability of skyscrapers to terrorist attacks.
He previously climbed Chicago's Sears Tower.
