After a tense 12-hour police standoff during which the road was cordoned off and specialist police negotiators brought in, the man was persuaded to come down.

When he was safely down, the man was arrested on suspicion of causing damage to the roof of a neighbouring house.

Mr Walsh will appear before Chesterfield magistrates on Thursday, November 2.
