Gwinnett County Fire Department officials believe the 21-year-old man from Duluth, Ga., had been drinking and ignored a companion's suggestion he had climbed far enough up the pole. Officials did not identify the man.
After his pants caught, the man spent about two hours dangling before a rescue team climbed the tower and got him down.
No charges had been filed Saturday afternoon.
