Caffeine

Police in suburban Philadelphia say a man fed up of children playing in his cul-de-sac blared a pornographic soundtrack to chase them off.

Irate neighbours told police they could hear the sexually explicit audio a block and a half away.

Police say Michael Buck faces a felony obscenity charge and two misdemeanours for the May 31 stunt at his upscale Phoenixville home.

The 27-year-old Buck has a preliminary hearing scheduled for next month. Detective Tom Goggin says Buck had filed one previous complaint about the neighbourhood children. He says the children clearly annoy Buck - but there's nothing criminal about playing outside.

Classical music would have chased them off even faster and just maybe the neighbours wouldn't have complained.
