Info
Man in Tree refers to a widely viewed standoff between Cody Lee Miller and police on March 22–23, 2016, in Seattle, Washington. Miller scaled a large sequoia tree near a major downtown intersection and remained there for over 24 hours, rebuffing rescue and negotiation attempts and tossing debris at onlookers. The situation disrupted Seattle traffic patterns, became a trending topic across social media, and attracted national attention from news outlets. Miller's treatment by law enforcement and coverage by the media has spurred further debate on the adequacy of mental health care in the United States.
