I remember hearing all sorts of wild stories about this guy in the late 90s, but I never heard him myself. For instance, it is said he ended up in prison, but I don't recall the details. I also recall some of the "older" pirates saying as to how he pi**ed a lot of them off, but, again, I don't remember the details.

I don't see an entry for him on the Wiki; perhaps someone with knowledge of the station's history would like to post one. I'd certainly be interested in reading it.

Yikes!  One of the WORST jammers in our ranks.  Al - I also heard about LAD doing a prison stretch.  AJ Michaels of Action Radio was following that at one time.  I believe he took his webpage down but maybe he'll check in and enlighten us...

A little bit more on this story can be found here.

http://www.angelfire.com/ne/actionradio/lad.html

How much of it is accurate,can only be commented by folks that have been around in those days.

I was not into Radio nor in the USA at the time frame in question.
Nevertheless does it seem to be one of the good story's of earlier Pirate days.

He kidnapped his former HS girlfriend at her sorority house at the University of Kentucky. Led the cops on a wild chase across eastern Kentucky, got arrested and did a short stint in jail.

When he got out ,he tried to do it again. LAD came from a wealthy family, but they weren't influential enough to save his ass a second time. I think he was released a few years back for the second offense.

I went to college with his Uncle, a great guy. In that family they're either brilliant or batshit crazy. LAD was the latter.

I hate it when that happens.

I did a little checking. LAD was back in jail as of 2013. He violated a restraining order by making threats towards and stalking a woman.  I don't know if it was the same woman as before. He's in his mid-30's now.

I knew he had been on the regional news for something in the past couple of years, but I couldn't remember for what.

Al, Britney is threatening to shave her head again. Leave the woman alone.
