Local radio personality arrested on six sex-related charges

Another sex crazed talk show host

A Shreveport radio talk show host is being held in Caddo Correctional Center without bond following an investigation into computer-aided solicitation for sex.

The Caddo Parish sheriff's office arrested KEEL 710 AM personality Mike Sieve about 5 p.m. Friday. Sieve was booked into the parish jail on one count of attempted aggravated rape, two counts of carnal knowledge of a juvenile and three counts of computer-aided solicitation for sex, according to police booking records.

Caddo sheriff's spokeswoman Cindy Chadwick said she was unable to release further information about Sieve's arrest but that the investigation has led to more arrests. More details will be available Monday, Chadwick said.

Sieve has also dabbled in acting, including small roles in local productions such as Kevin Costner's "Mr. Brooks" and the FX Network TV show "Thief."

Sieve, a Shreveport native and 1986 graduate of Loyola College Prep, has worked on and off in radio and television since 1986, according to a biography on www.710keel.com, which redirects to KEEL's current site, keelam.com. Sieve has also worked in Ruston, Lafayette, Savannah, Ga., and Greenville, S.C., the site said.

Repeated calls to KEEL and to the Clear Channel Inc. headquarters in San Antonio were not returned Saturday. In addition to KEEL, Clear Channel owns Shreveport stations KWKH 1130 AM and FM stations Kiss Country 93.7, K94.5 Hit Music Channel, KVKI 96.5 and 99X The Rock Station.
