Central States News: Mentally-Disturbed Man on Tulsa OK Tower For 6th Day

Twenty-five-year-old William Sturdivant II has been perched on a communications tower in Tulsa since 11 a.m. last Thursday.

As of 3 p.m. today- Mr. Sturdivant has been on the tower without any food or drink for at least 125 hours- according to KOTV-6 News in Tulsa.

Police have tried virtually around-the-clock to talk the man- said to have mental issues- down from the 300-foot tower- while a fire department ladder truck and a paramedic crew has also been standing by.

Maybe if they all packed up and left where he couldn't see them he would come down after thinking nobody was paying attention to him anymore.

I think that'll take the toll pretty soon....
