Disc Jockey Arrested for On-Air Gag

Thu Jul 8, 6:46 PM ET

AUSTIN, Texas - A radio personality who wore a ski mask into a convenience store as part of an on-air prank has been charged with making a terrorist threat.

Dan Chappell, known to listeners of radio station KHFI as "Lunchbox," walked around the store narrating events on air using a phone before buying a pack of gum and leaving. He was arrested a short distance from the store, police said.

Chappell, 22, was charged with making a terrorist threat and faces up to a year in jail and up to a $4,000 fine. He did not immediately return a phone message Thursday.

Although no verbal threats were made, store clerk Atif Akhlaque said he thought he was going to be robbed and pressed the silent alarm.

It was the latest in a series of on-air gags by Chappell, who also has had a bikini wax, walked across hot coals and married a listener who was paid $100.
