Police: Man Who Scaled Cliff to Propose to Girlfriend Was High on Methamphetamine
theblaze.com
A man who had to be rescued when he climbed a California cliff to propose to his girlfriend via cellphone video later was acting erratically and was found to be high on methamphetamine, authorities said Friday.
Morro Bay Fire Chief Steve Knuckles said that 27-year-old Michael Banks was arrested on suspicion of possessing methamphetamine.
Knuckles said Banks climbed to the top of the cliff early Thursday to propose. Banks got stuck on the way down. No one has spoken to the girlfriend. Knuckles said Friday that he didn’t know if the proposal was real only that Banks told “several people” during the rescue that he had asked for her hand in marriage. Police were not immediately available for comment.
Banks “took a different trail down, much steeper” and became stranded, said Capt. Todd Gailey. “He couldn’t go any direction, on a sheer ledge, with his feet dangling 80 feet off the ground.”
Rescuers called in a helicopter, and a crew member descended by cable to hoist Banks from the narrow ledge.
