The 41-year-old stunt man, best known as for his work on the U.S. series Jackass, climbed a 100 foot construction crane on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood on August 9th. Glover climbed to the top of the crane with an inflatable orca bearing the words ‘SeaWorld Sucks’. He also set off fireworks from the top of the crane.
The emergency services were called and, according to reports in the BBC, more than 80 firefighters responded at the scene. Glover later climbed down and was arrested. He was charged on several counts including conspiracy to commit trespass and filming without permission.
Glover issued a statement on Instagram in which he explained how he wasn’t repentant about his actions as the ‘crane-climbing, fireworks debacle really turned out to be pretty meaningful in the end’.
