Rockledge Police have arrested 23 year old Dontavious James in connection with a robbery at the 7-Eleven at Murrell Road and Eyster Boulevard. Police say a masked suspect jumped the counter Sunday night, battered the clerk and stole money from the register before fleeing. Investigators later served a warrant at a home in the Emerald Hills subdivision and say they recovered evidence tied to the robbery. James is charged with robbery without a firearm or weapon and battery.
Ed Histed
Ed launched his radio career in 1975 and has spent more than five decades in the broadcasting industry. During that time, he has served in a wide range of roles including Air Personality, News Director, Sales Manager, Operations Manager, and General Manager at numerous radio stations in various markets across the country. Beyond on-air and management responsibilities, Ed has also worked extensively on the technical side of broadcasting. His background includes RF engineering and information technology, with particular experience configuring digital automation systems and remote voice-tracking platforms used by stations across the country. Ed was also among a select group of industry professionals invited by Google to its California headquarters following the company’s acquisition of Scott Studios. He was one of just 12 broadcasters nationwide chosen to participate in discussions and provide input during the design and rollout of Google’s digital broadcast automation platform. Although the majority of Ed’s career—spanning roughly four decades—was rooted in music radio, he transitioned into news and information programming in 2012. He says the move into spoken-word broadcasting was a natural evolution after decades of experience in multiple areas of the industry.
