M1 closure gantry man charged with 'public nuisance'
A man who scaled an information board gantry over the M1 and stayed there for 28 hours has been charged with causing a public nuisance.
Nicholas Muton climbed up at about midday on Sunday and eventually came down shortly after 16:00 BST on Monday.
Part of the southbound carriageway of the motorway was closed while negotiators tried to talk him down.
The 45-year-old, of no fixed address, was arrested by police at the scene.
He had written messages on the gantry in an apparent protest, alleging that someone "tried 2 kill me" and also referred to "2 murder attempts".
He is due to appear at Leicester Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
