Thug climbs 150ft bridge to flee cops

A MAN who scaled a 150ft suspension bridge to escape police has been jailed.

Craig Lee Jones, 31, climbed the bridge over the Menai Strait in North Wales after being refused a drink and threatening staff at a nearby pub.

The structure was closed to traffic as police talked down Jones, who had nearly lost his footing.

He held a broken bottle to his throat, and was tasered on September 15.

Jones, of Bangor, Gwynedd, admitted causing a public nuisance, threatening behaviour among other charges

A Caernarfon crown court judge gave him eight months in jail, calling him “unbelievably stupid”.
