2 KUPD DJs investigated for urging violence against ExxonMobil

Feb. 4, 2006 12:00 AM

Sheriff Joe Arpaio is investigating an allegation that two disc jockeys on Tuesday encouraged listeners to steal merchandise and set fires at Valley Exxon and Mobil stations to retaliate for high gas prices and record profits.

The probe began Thursday after an ExxonMobil representative contacted the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office with employee security concerns.

John Holmberg, who with Brady Bogen hosts Morning Sickness on KUPD-FM (97.9), called for "a massive, bloody, fiery coup" and encouraged listeners to steal. Holmberg added, "The only thing that works is violence." advertisement




Arpaio said disc jockeys often joke around but "I'm surprised they went this far."

There were no reports of violence.

Chuck Artigue, general manager of the station, said he got one call from a local employee of the energy company. After the call, the DJs apologized on the air.

I swear Arpaio has something on Barry in his file. Barry just wags his tail like Arpaio's lapdog whenever he can.

As for this case, lots of hot air, Sherrif Joke gets to be in the media again, typical garbage.

Some people just over-react to the little things. I know somebody wrote a letter of complaint to KNIX for encouraging people to break the law by speeding on the 101. They were totally joking when they said if you get a picture and warning in the mail send it in. They said "if", not go out there and speed. I mean, people over-react and it's dumb.
