Tre Arrow, enviro-nut

Portland police today arrested Tre Arrow on an allegation of domestic-violence related fourth-degree assault.

An officer arrested Arrow, 38, at 9:01 a.m. in the 5100 block of Northeast 28th Avenue.

He was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center an hour later and is being held on $5,000 bail.

Arrow is on the ballot as a candidate for Portland mayor. He became publicly known as the man who sat on a 9-inch window ledge for 11 days at the U.S. Forest Service's Portland headquarters in 2000.

Arrow last month filed a prospective nominating petition with Portland's elections office. The one-time congressional candidate and environmental activist who turned into an FBI most-wanted fugitive gathered at least 100 valid signatures to be on the Portland ballot.

Arrow, who pleaded guilty in 2008 to two counts of arson and served time in prison, joins 19 other mayoral candidates in the May primary.

Arrow, who participated in the Occupy Portland protests, drew the attention of Portland firefighters earlier this year when he climbed a tree to reportedly deliver messages about nature.

City code allows residents with criminal records to run for office.
