Deputies in Dania Beach tried to take a man into custody Monday when he ran off and climbed into a tree, authorities said.

The suspect has since been identified as Christian Cisnero, 26.

It started when Broward Sheriff's deputies attempted to take Cisnero into custody on a felony warrant for dealing Methamphetamine.

He ran away from deputies and climbed up a tree in the 1000 block of Southwest 12th Avenue, according to BSO.

Footage from Chopper 6 showed deputies and paramedics surrounding the tree, waiting to take him into custody.

He later came down from the tree on his own before 6 p.m. and appeared to be unharmed.

Cisnero has a lengthy criminal record going back to 2016, including second-degree felony and misdemeanor charges.
