PORTLAND, MAINE - Portland police arrested 30-year-old Asher Woodworth after he walked back-and-forth slowly through downtown traffic dressed as a tree.
When he refused to comply orders, police took him to jail on a misdemeanor charge of obstructing a public way.
Police say Woodworth's motivation was to "see how people would react to his performance" and how it would "impact people's natural choreography."

He should have said he was transitioning to a gender fluid tree.

Enough of this nonsense. How can you dress like a
tree, when trees don’t wear clothes?

Thank you for that. Gave me a good laugh as well.

The police gave him a chance to leaf. But he chose to be a sap.

Did the cops put him in a cell, or just stack him by the fireplace?

Once he twigged to the declining popularity of clowndom, he branched out while his nuts remained intact, safe from clown haters.

He certainly went out on a limb
At first, I thought this would be Florida.
Portland. That explains a lot.
But he should have been a fruit tree

You always have the best movie pics, dfw.
Woodworth was covered in dozens of evergreen branches, which police removed to locate his identification and make his face clear for a booking photo.
Stripped bare. Denuded. Probably not the last time this sap will have a brush with the law.
