A Lubbock man caused quite the disturbance on Wednesday when Lubbock Police were called to a cellphone tower around 22nd Street and Memphis Avenue. Police reported that a man was climbing the cellphone tower.

Police were initially called at around 3:47 p.m. Wednesday afternoon according to KAMC, just after 5:00 p.m. police confirmed that the cellphone tower climber had indeed climbed back down the tower and wasn't armed.

Police identified the man as 49-year-old Chad Coffey. Coffey was charged with criminal trespassing, according to LPD. Police said Coffey was not armed, and no injuries were reported during the incident.
