A man who stood atop the wreckage of the water-drenched roller coaster near the Casino Pier in Seaside Heights last month was in court Tuesday but the case was adjourned, according to a report from News12.
The man, identified as 38-year-old Chris Angulo of Lavallette, climbed aboard the ruins of the Jet Star roller coaster in an effort to call attention to Sandy recovery, according to News12.
State police and local authorities worked to get the man off the wreckage.
Angulo is facing various charges related to his climb onto the wrecked roller coaster and placing an American flag at the top.
Angulo has said he's an experienced climber and used two climbing lanyards, as well as a helmet and a wetsuit.
After police talked him down and handcuffed him, they decided Angulo was in need of mental help and placed him in the psychiatric ward at St. Barnabas Hospital in Toms River, according to News12.
The television network reported a new court date has not yet been selected.
Ya, it's really that simple.
hours a day. The Flag Code states: It is the universal custom to display the flag only from sunrise to sunset on buildings and on stationary flagstaffs in the open. However, when a patriotic effect is desired, the flag may be displayed 24 hours a day if properly illuminated during hours of darkness.23 There are eight sites in the United States where the flag is flown day and night under specific legal authority: Fort McHenry National Monument, Baltimore, Maryland;24 Flag House Square, Baltimore, Maryland;25 the United States Marine Corps Iwo Jima Memorial, Arlington, Virginia;26 Lexington, Massachusetts...Its a violation of the rules of the flag here and sec 8 of the rules of the flag! This violation is 100.00 fine and up to 30 days in jail!
It's not fair game. Just like if you park you car in a public lot....it's still your car and no one has the right to use it and/or climb on it.
