In an article on UPI.com entitled "Woman arrested four times in 26 hours," it informs readers of a woman named Joyce Coffey, a resident of New Hampshire, was arrested 4 times within 26 hours for refusing to turn down her radio and assaulting her nephew.
Police were called to Coffey's house at 3 p.m. after complaints of loud music; they gave her a warning and left. An hour later they were informed again and arrested Coffey for disorderly conduct and refusing to turn her music down. She then bailed herself out. 5 and a half hours later the authorities were again at her house and arrested her again. She again bailed herself out. For the third time, the police arrived at Coffey's home at 1:10 in the morning and arrested her for playing "Highway to Hell" too loud. This time she had a hearing and was barred from playing music before 10 am and after 8 pm. The police received a report of domestic disturbance and once again the source of the trouble was Coffey. Her nephew had come to get some of his things at her house and apparently she got mad at him and threw a frying pan at her nephew. She is now still in jail for simple assault and breach of bail conditions (10,000 dollars).
This situation sounds just like me.. Well except for the going to jail part. But the blaring part, especially when I'm driving down the road. I'll have it turned up loud, windows down, and speakers thumpin'.
This woman was clearly not a participant in her learning because after the first time she could have turned her music down and not get arrested, but she chose not to.
