Craig Carton, co-host of WFAN’s “Boomer and Carton”, was arrested by the FBI Wednesday morning at his Manhattan home.
He and another man are accused of taking investments for a discount ticket broker business that never existed in the first place. Sources say he accrued a few million dollars in investments for the fake business. Carton had officially been arrested and charged with securities fraud and wire fraud.
Boomer and Carton have the morning drive-in slot on WFAN, and Carton is a big Mets fan and is well known for his crazy rants after Mets losses.
Carton has co-hosted the show with Boomer Esiason since September of 2007. He started his career in Buffalo in 1991, moving through Cleveland, Philadelphia and Denver before landing in New York.
He is also the founder of a charity for children with Tourette Syndrome called TicTocStop, a condition that he and two of his children have.
