The self-proclaimed ‘Pro-life Spiderman’ was arrested once again Tuesday after scaling a building in protest against abortion.
Maison Des Champs was arrested Tuesday by the Oklahoma City Police Department at the top of Devon Tower, a 844-foot tall skyscraper in the downtown region of the city.
Earlier in the day, police instructed locals to avoid the area, closing the streets as a precaution as the 22-year-old climbed the massive tower.
Des Champs shared footage of his climb in an Instagram story on his account, and encouraged his followers to donate to letthemlive.org, a pro-life nonprofit.
He shared posts from the organization, which he appeared to be partnering with in his climb, to raise money for a mother named Riley.
‘Maison Des Champs will be scaling a tower in support of Let Them live Mom, Riley, and her 10 week pre-born baby,’ the post said.
The organization’s says that donations go to support ‘abortion-minded women so that they choose life.’
In his Instagram story, Des Champs panned the camera over the street below him, noting that people were gathering but that there was ‘no helicopter yet.’
Des Champs made it to the top of the 50-story building, where authorities were waiting for him.
Last month, he scaled the Salesforce Tower, the tallest skyscraper in California, also in protest against abortion. The similar stunt also resulted in his arrest.
That climb came one day after a draft of a Supreme Court opinion revealed the court’s conservative majority intends to overturn the landmark Roe v Wade decision, which grants federal abortion rights.
Despite the timing, Des Champs said the climb wasn’t about the Roe v Wade draft opinion.
Days later, he scaled the 721-foot tall New York Times building in New York City. On his ascent he hunt two anti-abortion banners on the building. It’s unclear whether he was arrested following this stunt.
