ABERDEEN, Wash. (October 7, 2009)--A man who dragged a 12-foot cross from Longview to his hometown in Aberdeen, Wash. won’t be arrested.

Capt. John Green says police decided not to arrest James Strickland Tuesday night when he rolled his cross into town.

Green told KXRO he consider Strickland a good risk and will trust him to appear before a judge to clear up four misdemeanor warrants.

Strickland, 39, says he has a troubled past that includes drug use, run-ins with the law and falling out with his family.

He was praying about his problems when he received a message to start walking in May on a journey of renewal.

In Aberdeen he hopes to reconcile with the mother of his two young children.
