A daredevil known as the "French Spider-Man," arrested for trying to climb a Houston office tower, said on Monday police mistook his anti-seizure medication for illegal drugs when they charged him with possession last week. Alain Robert, 43, said he was arrested on November 22 with Urbanyl, a drug prescribed by his doctors to ward off epileptic seizures. During a court appearance on Tuesday, Robert's attorney will ask that the drug possession charge be dropped. Robert said the media apparently tipped police that he was going to climb a 46-story building in downtown Houston. Police were guarding the tower when he arrived, but he ran towards the structure. Officers pulled him off the building by his ankles. Police charged Robert with criminal trespass and possession of narcotics. They said the drug was Xanax, an anti-anxiety drug that is prone to abuse in the United States. Robert said he has a prescription for Urbanyl, which is generally known as Clobazam. The daredevil, who has also scaled about 70 buildings including New York's Empire State Building and Chicago's Sears Tower, complained news of the drug charge has tainted his image, especially back home in France. "It takes a long time to build a reputation and it doesn't take long to destroy it," Robert said. "Because one of those cops gave wrong information, it's a little unclear to the people."
