Seattle City Park excavator, miner and logger Steve Irwin back in park arrested for 3rd time

For the third time, a man who claims he has permission to build a cabin and plans to mine for gold in a Seattle city park has been arrested.

Police took Steven Irwin, 41, into custody at his encampment in the park on Friday, according to a Seattle police report.

The city of Seattle banned Irwin from all parks for one year after he used an excavator to tear up a hillside in October and then ripped out vegetation to build a cabin.
