AC/DC Fan Arrested 4 Times In 26 Hours For Relentlessly Blasting 'Highway To Hell'

We all have those days where we want to listen to our favourite track over and over again, with the volume turned up loud so no-one can hear you screaming the lyrics. But one woman, hailing from New Hampshire in the US, really took the biscuit last week - after getting arrested four times in just 26 hours for blaring out AC/DC waaay too loudly.
The rather impressive feat (not the opinion her neighbours share, we’re sure) was completed by Epping-based lady Joyce Coffey, who was first warned by police on Tuesday last week that rock classic ‘Highway to Hell’ was playing too loudly from her home.
Just one hour later and the police were back, arresting the woman for the ear-deafening racket she was kindly blasting out to her whole street. This lead to the first of four mugshots the police were going to have the pleasure of printing, which you can see on the right.
Five hours and a fair few renditions of the track later, and the police were back, a process which was repeated again just before the crack of dawn on Wednesday. Then, after her third arrest, her nephew arrived at her home, hoping to take back some of his belongings - only to have Coffey throw a frying pan at him.
After days of commotion, she was finally jailed on the Friday, with one super-smart judge suggesting that Coffey use headphones.
I guess that last week, Rock and Roll really was Noise Pollution.
