The 45-year-old woman said a song came on over the store's speaker system that she didn't like. She said it made her sad, so she asked employees if they would turn it off.

When the employees said they could not, police said, the woman got angry and started yelling.

That's when an employee called the cops.

The woman left before officers arrived, but called police and told them where to find her, parked on Parliament Drive in Sterling Heights.

A short time later, as an officer was trying to speak with the woman, police said she took off in her 2019 Chevy Trax. She tried to flee, but was blocked in by patrol cars and arrested.

The woman was charged with Hinder and Obstruction of a Police Officer... but the trouble did not stop there.

Later, at the Troy Police lock-up, police said the woman started to scream at the front desk attendant as she was being released, so she was arrested a second time and charged with Disorderly Conduct.

Police did not specify what song it was that upset the woman. WWJ Newsradio 950 has a call in to Troy PD to try to find out.
