Federal Communications Commission officials and deputies from the Orange County Sheriff’s gang unit busted a pirate radio station they say was reportedly broadcasting information on where to buy drugs.
Authorities say the “Street Heat” broadcast included live advertisements for criminal gangs and discussions of where to buy drugs and find prostitutes.
Balthazard Senat and Christopher Robert Roth were arrested Friday and charged with unauthorized transmission and possession of cannabis with intent to deliver. Officials say Roth was a DJ for the radio station.
A spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office and a person answering the phone at the Orange County Corrections Department had no information on whether the men had retained attorneys.
