Man shoots TV in frustration over digital conversion
Posted: 2/19/2009 5:58:45 PM
A Missouri man, frustrated over losing his cable television service, peppered his TV set with gunfire.
Police responded to 70-year-old Walter Hoover's house in Joplin, Missouri Wednesday after reports of shots being fired inside.
The man was livid over losing cable and couldn't get his digital TV converter to work.
After a brief standoff, police took him into custody and charged him with unlawful use of a firearm.
It was Hoover's wife who reported him to police, and she also told them he had been drinking.
