ACWORTH, Ga. — A man was wearing a camera when he parachuted off a local cellphone tower. Police say they arrested that jumper and a second one as well.

The jumper took a plunge off the tower on Baker Road in Acworth last week. It's over 300 feet high -- one of the taller ones around.

It just so happened that a couple of officers were in the area on regular patrol and saw what happened.

Police identified the two daredevil tower jumpers as Brian Sims, of Savannah, and Steven Ahlquist, of Lilburn.

"They noticed to their disbelief two people parachuting from a nearby cell tower," Capt. Mark Cheatham, of the Acworth Police Department, told Channel 2's Tom Regan.

Sims was the first to touch down. His celebration of their successful stunt went sour as the cops pulled up.
