 The local law enforcement passed it on to the Secret Service and assumed the Secret Service would take care of him. The Secret Service assumed that by virtue of the local police passing it on to the Secret Service, it meant the local police were taking care of it. The Secret Service, because they didn't want to be on a sloped roof for the safety of the people who were supposed to jump in front of bullets, decided the local police could take the roof, and the local police did take the roof and decided it was too hot, so they got down.
