A man who perched near the top of an 80-foot sequoia tree in downtown Seattle for a day was ordered held on $50,000 bail.
Cody
Lee Miller, 28, was arrested on suspicion of mischief. A judge set the
bail amount Friday, a day after Miller declined to appear in court.
Miller
climbed to the top of the conifer on Tuesday and stayed for about 25
hours, ignoring police efforts to coax him down much of the time. He
threw apples and branches at responders. The drama sparked intense
interest online, with new Twitter accounts and the hashtag #ManInTree
trending on Twitter and Facebook.
A
probable-cause statement from the police made public Thursday says an
urban forester with the city's Transportation Department pegged damage
to the tree at about $7,800.
