AUSTIN, Texas - A radio personality who wore a ski mask into a convenience store as part of an on-air prank has been charged with making a terrorist threat.
Dan Chappell, known to listeners of radio station KHFI as "Lunchbox," walked around the store narrating events on air using a phone before buying a pack of gum and leaving. He was arrested a short distance from the store, police said.
Chappell, 22, was charged with making a terrorist threat and faces up to a year in jail and up to a $4,000 fine. He did not immediately return a phone message Thursday.
Although no verbal threats were made, store clerk Atif Akhlaque said he thought he was going to be robbed and pressed the silent alarm.
It was the latest in a series of on-air gags by Chappell, who also has had a bikini wax, walked across hot coals and married a listener who was paid $100.

FreakyFlyBry: I second that. Absolutely no redeeming qualities about that "song". Just an annoying mess that goes nowhere.

JessieLou: Selena Gomez is so insanely overrated. No talent in her whatsoever.

tdc2000: That song's run shows me very clearly Mediabase (and Billboard) need a 52 week recurrent rule (with exceptions for obvious reboots like 1992's "BoRhap"). These old songs charting (and recharting) forever make a mockery of the idea of a "top 40" or Hot 100.

plannine: They should make the recurrent rule at 20 weeks. Even 5 months is 2 months too long on the charts.

FreakyFlyBry: The Naomi Striemer interview is going to be amazing! "Fall Behind" is a nice little song, I like how it's our best kept secret. Maybe more songs/artists will be like that in the future?
