http://www.kare11.com/news/whatsup/what ... &catid=333A Missouri man is charged with unlawful use of a firearm, after peppering his T-V with bullets.
Police responded to a home in Joplin Wednesday after reports of shots being fired inside.
The 70 year old homeowner was angry that he had lost his cable, and was unable to get his new DTV converter to work properly.
After a brief standoff, the man was taken into custody. His wife told officers the suspect had been drinking.
