MediaBistro has an interesting tale about a guy who works on a show at WMFO who says a man claiming to be a Boston Police detective visited his house to warn him to stop tweeting insults at WAAF's Greg Hill:
My cousin tells me two men [he has requested we leave the description out] are in my yard looking for me. I go up and introduce myself and one hands me his card, saying he's a Boston Police Detective, and tells me he was here because of 'the Twitter stuff'and that 'it needed to stop.' And then he said they didn’t want to press charges, but 'it just needs to stop.'

Also, why would the Boston police be involved in a dispute between radio stations in Medford and Worcester?

Don't know about the Working MAn, but AAF studios are in Brighton.
Unless it crosses the line between insults and libel or slander

the cops wouldn't do anything. Come to think of it, the cops probably wouldn't do anything because libel and slander are civil cases.
I call shenanigans.

They may have been there for detail work--was he have his sidewalk patched, or the cracks in the curb weedwhacked?

The "detective" doesn't show his badge. Radio host doesn't ask to see it. There's supposedly a business card, but that got lost. And host "has a pretty solid description of both men" but the description is being withheld from the MediaBistro article.
Case closed!

About 10 years ago Mr. Hill went up and down Route 9 in a Santa suit handing out $100 bills without identifying himself. Led to great publicity for Wormtown Radio after the cover was blown. This could be another ruse.
Also, AAF broadcasts from Brighton now, right? That may be why BPD is involved. Yet, why didn't the radio station owners send a laywer first? Doesn't BPD have a murders to solve first?

With that statement, you now become one of the more admirable people on U-Hub.
