URBANA, Ohio - A defendant had a hard time facing the music.

Andrew Vactor was facing a $150 fine for playing classical music too loudly on his car stereo in July. But a judge offered to reduce that to $35 if Vactor spent 20 hours listening to hip-hop music by the likes of Kanye West and Jay-Z.

Vactor, 24, lasted only about 15 minutes, a probation officer said.
