BILLINGS - A Billings radio host is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to the person or persons who firebombed his house.

Jason Harris, or Big J as he is known to his listeners on Hot 101.9, came home Saturday morning to find that a Molotov cocktail had been thrown through his kitchen window.

He is no stranger to controversy on his show, and said more than likely it was someone upset with something he said. He said his home has been vandalized before, and he has had death threats before, but this is another level.

"I can't change my whole life to revolve around threats because they're probably going to be off and on throughout my career," he said. "So, I'll move past it and take extra precautions. I'll put up some cameras and lights and hope that something this serious doesn't happen again, but I hope the reward will make somebody speak up. I hope they get caught for my peace of mind and so they can understand that it's not funny."

Contact the Billings Police with any tips.

i never heard of the host. i'm in dallas but my guess is he must be a liberal (so am i) and that's not appreciated in many circles.
