If you ever find yourself in Fort Lupton, Colorado, you better be careful not to blast your music too loud! Some music lovers in Fort Lupton were arrested for a noise ordinance and got a very unique punishment. Judge Paul Sacco made them sit through an hour of unpopular or unusual music. The playlist included songs by Dolly Parton, Karen Carpenter, Barry Manilow and Barney (the purple dinosaur).  "When you have a person playing rap at extreme volumes all over the city, and they have to sit down and listen for an hour to Barry Manilow, its horrible punishment," he said.
Sacco said his love for music and helping youth inspired the unusual sentence.
"It's a punishment but it doesn't hurt as bad as jail or (paying) a lot of money," he said.
