PORTLAND, Maine — Officials in Portland, Maine, have cracked down on The Whistler.

The Whistler is the nickname of Robert Smith, who is either a free spirit or the most annoying man in town, depending on whom you ask, because he walks the streets whistling loudly.

His habit got him arrested for whistling in one place, but he was set free after agreeing to whistle only while walking.
