A 47-year-old pro-life protester who climbed a tree during Monday’s inaugural festivities and tried to shout down President Obama has been banned from D.C., reports the Post.

Rives Miller Grogan is a regular on the pro-life protest scene in D.C., having been arrested only last week for shouting from the gallery of the U.S. Senate. Since 2009, he’s been convicted five times in D.C. for acts related to protests, which tend to be on the disruptive side. (Last year he was also arrested for running on to the field of a game between the Cincinnati Reds and San Francisco Giants.)

But after Monday’s incident, during which it took police five hours to dislodge him from his perch 40 feet up, a D.C. judge banned him from the city except for a February court date or meetings with his attorneys.

Last week a pro-life protester was ordered to stay outside a buffer zone around the Planned Parenthood Clinic on 16th Street NW; prosecutors said that over eight years of protests the 80-year-old Maryland man had physically stopped women from seeking reproductive health services at the clinic.
