Pokemon Go Player Ends Up Stuck In Tree In NJ Cemetery

EAST GREENWICH TOWNSHIP, NJ (CBS) – Fire crews were dispatched to Eglington Cemetery in Clarksboro, New Jersey for a Pokemon that was trapped in a tree… along with the person chasing it.

East Greenwich Township Fire and Rescue say they set up an extension ladder to assist the person back to the ground safety.

Officials say, "The biggest thing we are trying to stress out of all of this is that people playing this game need to be cognizant about watching where they are going and what they are doing so no one gets hurt."

Moral of the story, maybe you don't actually have to catch them all, especially if it jeopardizes your safety.
