Nelson suspect hides up tree

The Nelson Fire department was called out by police Saturday for a tree rescue.

But it wasn’t a cat that was in distress.

A 26 year man had allegedly assaulted a Rosemont man at home then run off when police were called.

He evaded capture by climbing 40-feet up a tree.

The man eventually clambered down on his own and was taken into custody for the second time in a day when he tried to return to the house.

He’d been arrested earlier for kicking in a door at the residence.

He’ll be in court Monday.
