Portland Police officers found the man lying on the roof of the five-story structure and spent considerably time trying to persuade him to come down, but he refused to move or to speak.
The man, Aron T. Wiprud, 37, who was unhurt, was taken by ambulance to a hospital and placed on a detoxification hold. He was cited for burglary and criminal mischief.
