Man Threatens To 'Shoot Up' Radio Station For Not Playing His Song Request

Don't you hate it when there's nothing good on the radio?

An angry ex-deejay jonesing for a specific tune took his aural frustration too far when he allegedly threatened to "shoot up" a Massachusetts college station if it didn't spin the record he wanted to hear.

Programmers at Bridgewater State University's campus station WBIM said a man called multiple times on Monday requesting a song that wasn't in their catalogue, according to the university police department.

After getting turned down for the last time, the mystery caller warned that he'd "bring a gun and shoot up the station" if they didn't broadcast a song by punk rockers Rufio, university police said in a statement.

Cops checked the call logs and traced the cellular phone number to Alex Finnegan, a former disc jockey at WBIM who graduated in May, The Brockton Enterprise reports.

Finnegan was busted on Tuesday and charged with making a serious threat resulting in public alarm, a felony, and making a murder threat, a misdemeanor, The Boston Globe says.
