VAN NUYS (CNS) – A 50-year-old man who flummoxed and angered his neighbors by repeatedly blowing train horns and blaring the burglar alarm at his Van Nuys home was freed on his own recognizance Thursday after police arrested him the night before.
Gary Boyadzhyan has allegedly been blasting the horn and alarm intermittently since June, generating numerous complaints from neighbors in the 6600 block of Peach Avenue, just west of Sepulveda Boulevard and north of Victory Boulevard. Police arrested him Wednesday evening, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
The suspected hornblower also has said the LAPD has conspired against him.
Boyadzhyan, who was seen yelling as officers took him away, has told reporters that he is under some kind of death threat from mafia figures and others.
He has placed horns in the trees outside his house.
“I need help,” he told broadcast reporters on Tuesday. “I don’t know how else to cry out for it.”
Prior to being taken into custody, Boyadzhyan was warned that he would be arrested if police heard the racket.
It was not clear what possible charges Boyadzhyan is facing, but online sheriff’s inmate records show he was arrested at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and booked into the Van Nuys Station Jail on suspicion of a misdemeanor before being released on his own recognizance Thursday at 5:25 a.m.
