He’s a trouper.” The unidenti¿ed man ¿nally climbed down safely just before noon, having trans¿xed the city and the Internet for 25 hours while police closed adjacent streets and tried to coax him down. As onlookers cheered and chanted “Man In Tree” — in deference to the Twitter hashtag by which he became known — he sat down near the base of the conifer and appeared to be chomping on a piece of fruit. Of¿cers initially kept their distance but soon approached the man, got him on a gurney and took him for a medical evaluation. Reasons for the drama remained unclear. At times, the man appeared agitated, gestured wildly, yelled and threw apples and branches at of¿cers. Police tried to speak with him from a ¿retruck ladder and the sixth-Àoor windows of the Macy’s department store next door. For some, the ordeal raised questions about the city’s ballooning homeless population, though police had not con¿rmed whether the man was home- less. Mayor Ed Murray declared a state of emergency as deaths of homeless people mounted last fall, and the city has autho- rized new tent cities and safe parking lots for those living without shelter or in their vehicles. Janice Wilson, who was in town from Grant Hindsley/seattlepi.com via AP A man sits in an 80-foot tall tree in downtown Seattle, Tuesday, after he climbed nearly to the top, disrupting traffic. Police say when authorities ar- rived, the man refused to speak with them and threw an apple at medics. Crescent City, California, to help her son deal with his mental health and legal troubles, said she was homeless herself 30 years ago. She repeatedly shouted up to the man: “We love you! Come down safely!” “I heard people out here laughing,” she said. “If somebody’s in crisis to the point of putting himself at risk of suicide, what’s to laugh about?” After the man climbed down, the Seattle Police Department tweeted a photo of the tree-like creature named Groot from the “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie with the caption, “Groot job, everybody.” The tweet was just part of the online commotion the incident sparked, with new Twitter accounts dedicated to it and the hashtag #ManInTree trending on Twitter and Facebook. A local TV station live-streamed video of the man as he dozed, shouted and knocked around a stick. Many passers-by, seeming bemused by the man’s antics, pulled out their cellphones Wednesday to snap pictures of his silhouette, accentuated by a long, bushy beard, against the gray morning sky. Police said they know who the man is but did not release his identity. “We are now working with him trying to get a clearer picture of what exactly led to this point,” said Detective Patrick Michaud. “We’ll be able to work with him as he is in the hospital try to get this whole thing ¿gured out.” Seattle Department of Transportation of¿cials said they will review the health of the tree, believed to have been trans- planted there in the 1970s. 80-year-old pot dealer gets 10 years after colorful history for a sentence range of ¿ve to 10 years. Judge Denise Casper sentenced him to the maximum during a hearing in U.S. District Court. Dion has been in custody since his arrest in 2013, so he has already served 2 1/2 years of his sentence. He declined to address the court during his sentencing hearing. Dion’s lawyer, Hank Brennan, recommended a ¿ve-year sentence. He said Dion was nonviolent and Associated Press BOSTON — An 80-year-old man who ran a sprawling marijuana-dealing operation that covered several states, with records going back to 1992, was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Marshall Dion pleaded guilty last year to drug and money-laundering charges, and Tuesday’s sentencing in Massachusetts was the latest chapter in a long, colorful history with law enforce- ment. In 1985, he crashed a single-engine plane he was piloting in Kenosha County, Wisconsin, breaking both his ankles. When sheriff’s deputies arrived, he was crawling along a muddy ¿eld as money Àoated in the air. The government was allowed to keep nearly $112,000 in cash recovered from the crash scene after a judge found it was likely drug proceeds, but Dion was not charged criminally. When police in Junction City, Kansas, stopped him for speeding in 2013, they found about $828,000 in lived a simple life, despite the large quantities of cash his business made. “He didn’t have that lure of greed and power and oppression. He is a simple man who lived a very routine and habit-¿lled life,” Brennan said after the hearing. Prosecutors recom- mended a sentence of a little over six years. A spokes- woman for prosecutors did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Junction City Police Department via AP, This June 2013 file photo shows Marshall Dion of Tucson, Ariz. cash in his pickup truck. A federal investigation led authorities to Massachusetts and Arizona, where they found about $15 million in cash, nearly 400 pounds of marijuana and ledgers detailing drug deals going back to 1992. Earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Denise Casper rejected a plea agreement that called for a ¿ve- to seven-year prison sentence for Dion. His lawyers then reached a new agreement with prosecutors that called S.
