TORONTO — A woman who had to be rescued after scaling a construction crane in Toronto last year has been granted an absolute discharge after pleading guilty to mischief.
Marisa Lazo, 23, was stranded for hours after climbing a crane at a downtown construction site in the middle of the night in April.
It’s believed she went up the crane, crawled out on to the end of it, and slid down a cable to a large pulley device where she got stranded.
She was rescued by a firefighter who climbed up to Lazo and rappelled down the towering machinery with her — an operation that made headlines across the country.
