Police in Fond Du Lac, Wis., responding to a complaint of loud noise have cited a man for "rocking out" to the music of John Denver.
A police who responded to the man's apartment last week could hear Denver's music through the door.
The officer pounded on the door but the man didn't answer. Finally the officer found out the man's name from a neighbor and called to him, bringing the man to the door.
When asked why he had the music so loud, the man said he was "rocking out."
The Reporter newspaper in Fond du Lac reports that the 42-year-old was cited for unnecessary loud noise. The ticket could result in a fine of about $210.
The late singer is known for such hits as "Rocky Mountain High" and "Take Me Home, Country Roads."
Mom charged after son says they robbed business
Police said an East Tennessee woman drove the getaway car after talking her 11-year-old son into committing an armed robbery at a finance company where she had worked.
Investigators in Athens, Tenn., said 32-year-old Angela Evans has confessed.
Detective Freddy Schultz said Evans had worked at the finance office in the past.
Schultz said the boy admitted to the Jan. 8 robbery and said his mother put him up to it.
A clerk told police that a juvenile wearing something over his face placed a gun to her head and demanded all the money from the cash register. The robber took $80 and rode off in a red vehicle.
Investigators said the boy told them he got a $20 share.
Oops: North Dakota city skips a day on new calendar
North Dakota residents and others relying on a new calendar issued by the city of Grand Forks will get a jump-start on February.
The recently issued City of Grand Forks 2010 Calendar is missing Sunday, Jan. 31.
City spokesman John Bernstrom says the error was noticed when boxes of the calendar printed by Fine Print of Grand Forks were opened before Christmas.
Bernstrom says if Jan. 31 had been a weekday in which there was garbage or recycling collection, the city would have issued a correction or public statement. Feb. 1 appears on the calendar as a Monday so the rest of the year is correct.
Fine Print President Kevin Kuntz says January is the coldest month of the year and having one day less works for him.
