Radio Host Arrested: Harry (Sonny) Bloch, who was charged last week with defrauding investors of $21 million, was arrested in San Juan, Puerto Rico, the FBI said. Bloch is scheduled to appear before a magistrate in San Juan, where federal prosecutors will request that he be returned to Newark, N.J., to face a 38-count indictment.
