TULSA, Oklahoma -- Tulsa Police have identified the man involved in the department's longest standoff ever, who refuses to come down from the Clear Channel radio tower at 27th and Memorial.

Daniel Snow, has been trespassing on the 300-foot tower since about 11 a.m. Thursday.

As of Tuesday at 3 p.m. Snow has been on the tower for 125 hours.

Tuesday morning Snow asked for a meal from Whataburger, then asked for Oreos and milk and a cigar, according to police.

At one point Monday, he climbed about half way down the tower, but went no lower. He could also be seen taking brief naps Monday afternoon.

He also took off his red socks.

Tulsa Police are asking residents to stay away from the scene. They say, in some cases, spectators have hampered efforts to get him to come down.

"We've had a couple of times when we've made some progress with him and then the crowd will start yelling and screaming things, it will distract him, and we'll regress and go 12 hours back in time with the progression that we've made with him," Ryan Perkins, with Tulsa Police, said.

"We don't want people yelling, screaming, taking pictures. We would like people to, basically ignore him," he added.

Just put a box of cigars at the bottom of the tower under a big net. Also leave a lighter, ashtray, and cutter. Then hide...bet he comes down before long :grin:.

He finally made it down. We took Dan's advice. As he stretched his arm for the cigars he realized that he can't reach while he's 80 ft high. So a few buddies and I decided to smoke them in front of him he got real pissed. He then proceeded to take a leak off the tower, aiming at us. It was then, he slipped. He held on for dear life and that's when he decided to let rescuers take him. At ground level, he jumped out and chased us down Memorial. Since all of us are out of shape, I dropped the box of cigars. Whew! That was the only thing that stopped him from laying the smackdown on us.
