Mich. man gets citation for bumpin' car stereo

[June 19, 2010]  GRAND BLANC TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) -- Authorities said a 22-year-old Grand Blanc man faces charges after pumping up the volume of his car stereo.

Police said on June 10 the man pulled into a party store in the city about 50 miles northwest of Detroit, where an officer was conducting a liquor inspection. The officer said the loud music was still playing when the man exited his car, which had its windows rolled down.

The Flint Journal reported the officer told the man to turn down his stereo, to which he replied: "What?"

After the officer repeated his request, the man told him that his speakers weren't loud and that it was no big deal, then reduced the volume.

The officer said the man turned up the volume even louder after leaving the store. He was arrested and cited for violating the township's noise ordinance.
