KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at very reduced power and signal range using a back-up transmitter. This is because of complicated problems with its very old primary transmitter. Local engineers are currently working on that transmitter and consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR mix service or HPPR connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

The Latest Installment: When Criminals Mistakenly Text Cops

Published September 14, 2015 at 5:51 AM CDT

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. This has been happening for years. Years ago, I noticed a news story about somebody wanting to buy or sell drugs and sending a text message to a cop by mistake. It's happened multiple times. We've mentioned it on the air, and people keep doing it. Police say the latest perpetrator is William Lamberson of Fla., who is accused of texting a Martin County narcotics captain. Police made the arrest and also informed him he had the wrong number.
