Oklahoma City Police say that two parachutists have been arrested and released after allegedly parachuting off the under-construction Devon Tower in downtown OKC.
They say it happened in the early-morning hours of Easter Sunday. OKC PD MSgt. Gary Knight reports that both 29-year-old BoJack Baxter and 34-year-old Waylon Clay Litchfield face charges of trespassing.
MSgt. Knight says that officers from various agencies arrived in time to see the pair allegedly take an elevator to what officials believe was the 36th floor...and then jump off.
He adds that one of the parachutists was taken into custody immediately upon landing, but that the second touched down and tried to run from officers. Officials report that he was later taken into custody by an officer with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol.
On the lighter side, MSgt. Knight wouldn't say how the officers on the scene scored the jump and landing!
