Several people have e-mailed us informing us that Wayne is down from the radio tower he climbed a week ago in protest of losing a lawsuit filed against him and his neighbours.
From the Montgomery, Alabama Advertiser:
Wetumpka man ends tower protest
Wayne Spires made his descent from a 68-foot radio tower today to end his protest of a court ruling on an ongoing land dispute in a small community outside Wetumpka.
Spires, 61, chose 1 p.m. to complete a full week – to the hour – on the tower behind his Wallsboro home.
“I’m weak-legged,” Spires told the Advertiser, adding that he came down because friends had called the secretary of Circuit Court Judge John Bush and “she said he’s still doing some research (on the case).”
Spires and neighbors say they were wrongly sued for failing to participate in a homeowners group they wanted no part of.
Spires denied overnight storms played a factor in his decision to come down and said he would go back up the tower depending on the judge’s decision.
We wish Wayne and his family well, and will keep your advised of any further updates, and if Wayne remains earthbound. We all support you, Wayne! Keep fighting.
