Police turn tables on Brighton DJ - they arrest him for refusing to lower the volume

There was a report that the Boston Police had arrested a BU student they said responded to their request either turn his music down or roll up his window and instead he turned his music up. The Police officers stated that the noise complaint at 109 Brainerd Rd. shortly after 5 p.m. yesterday was met by a wall of sound emanating from a third-floor apartment - and by a resident who asked them to do something about it.

The officers came and knocked on the apartment door for a while before the suspect opened the door. The officers advised the person playing the music was told to turn down the music due to the multiple 911 calls. The person stated, "I'm not turning anything down!" Officers advised the man to turn the music down and he clearly replied, "I'm not turning it down."

            Police say as the officers tried to reason with Jurgen Lippert, more neighbors came out of their apartments and pleaded with them to do something about the loud and obnoxious noise, but they said that it was a daily occurrence. The police said that the apartment DJ apologized for the disturbance to his neighbors but that he needed to "practice mixing music." The police have clearly stated that the man (Lippert) clearly turned his music up. Then officers had arrested him for disturbing the peace.
