Judge offers classical justice in noise case

By Associated Press

URBANA: A defendant had a hard time facing the music in western Ohio.

Andrew Vactor of Urbana was looking at a $150 fine for playing rap music too loudly on his car stereo. But a judge offered to reduce that to $35 if Vactor spent 20 hours listening to classical music by Bach, Beethoven and other composers.

A probation officer said the 24-year-old lasted only about 15 minutes.

Vactor said he chose to pay the higher fine not because of the type of music but because he needed to be at practice with the rest of the Urbana University basketball team.

Champaign County Municipal Court Judge Susan Fornof-Lippencott said her idea was to force Vactor to listen to something he might not prefer, just as the public had to cope with his loud rap music.
