Fort Lupton Judge Paul Sacco said violators of the city's ordinance are being given a one-hour music emersion sentence.
"When you have a person that's been playing rap let's say at extreme volumes all over the city and they have to sit down and they have to listen for an hour to Barry Manilow -- it's horrible punishment," Sacco said.People who are cited for playing their music too loudly in the city must sit and listen to music chosen by Sacco.Violators were forced to listen to Dolly Parton, Karen Carpenter and Barney songs, according to KCNC-TV."Twenty minutes into it and I was trying not to fall asleep," violator Luis Cano said.During the punishment, violators are not allowed to eat, drink or read.The judge said the punishment seems to be working because the judge said there are very few repeat offenders.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
