DJ Faces Fine for Radio Stunt

CARTERET, N.J. (AP) - What's so funny about a radio personality duct-taping himself to a utility pole to create a "human billboard"?

Apparently nothing.

A judge slapped Gregory Tyndorf with a $500 fine and cited him for disorderly conduct, saying the Aug. 14 stunt could have caused an accident.

Tyndorf, 30, known to listeners of WHTZ-FM in Secaucus as "Greg T The Frat Boy," staged the event in Carteret in a parking lot near Exit 12 of the New Jersey Turnpike.

"He picked one of the busiest intersections in Central Jersey, if not the state," Municipal Court Judge Allen Comba said during sentencing Wednesday.

Tyndorf, who lives about 15 miles away in East Brunswick, said he did not know the site was so heavily traveled.

He said the stunt was meant to show support for Ira Joe Fisher, a WCBS-TV weatherman whose contract was not renewed.

Tyndorf was suspended on the pole for about 20 minutes before police cut him down and handcuffed him.
