What's the world coming to when a guy can't even dress up as a tree and stand in the middle of traffic without getting arrested?
The aptly named Asher Woodworth got his money's worth Monday when he covered himself in tree limbs and stood in the road near an intersection in Portland, Maine. His money's worth happened to be $60 — the bail he posted after being arrested for allegedly obstructing a public way.
Police at first gave him a warning, according to WSSH6, which originally reported the story. But Woodworth apparently just couldn't help himself.

Woodworth told police he was curious to see how people would react to his "performance" and whether he could impact "people's national choreography."
