SEASIDE HEIGHTS, NJ — The man who climbed the Jet Star after Superstorm Sandy has climbed another Casino Pier ride — this time over a dispute he's having with police, according to a report.
Christopher Angulo, 45, of Lavallette, climbed the Skyscraper ride on the pier Monday morning, News 12 New Jersey reported.
Angulo made headlines in November 2012 for climbing on the JetStar roller coaster as it sat in the Atlantic after Sandy wrecked the pier.
In March he got into a dispute with authorities at a Lavallette Borough Council meeting, and was arrested by Patrolman Thomas Harrington and charged with disturbing a public meeting, disorderly conduct, and aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, police said.

According to the police report, Angulo began shouting out and talking over the council as it conducted business prior to public comment. The report said Angulo was narrating a live video on Facebook. What he was shouting or saying was not described, and any videos on Angulo's Facebook page are hidden from public view.
It was not immediately clear whether the council meeting dispute was the issue that prompted Angulo to climb the Skyscraper.
