THE man who put the Ben in Ben & Jerry’s ice-cream has been arrested in the US for disorderly conduct after subjecting a Vermont city to the piercing sound of jet engines.
Ben Cohen, who co-founded Ben & Jerry’s in 1978, was protesting plans by the national guard to base a fleet of F-35 jet fighters in the state.
Cohen was allegedly among protesters who drove a truck through the city of Burlington, towing a trailer fitted with speakers that blared out the sound of aircraft engines.
Local TV station WCAX reported that multiple residents and businesses had complained, but Cohen said it was a taste of things to come once jets fly through “day in, day out”.
