BOSTON -- Michael Graham, a well-known Boston radio talk show host, was arrested Friday morning and charged with driving with a revoked license, Framingham police said.

Graham was pulled over after running a red light on Route 9 at 5:30 a.m., according to Lt. Paul Shastany.

Registry of Motor Vehicles records listed his license as revoked.

"The RMV revoked my license because I didn't pay my car insurance in Virginia in 2006," said Graham. "That's because I moved to Massachusetts in 2005 and became a licensed driver with my car insurance paid in February 2006. Of course I stopped paying my car insurance in Virigina. I didn't live there!"

Graham, writing on his own Web site, blamed the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles for not notifying him his license had been revoked, a charge the registry immediately disputed.

"I was pulled for a minor traffic infraction, and was astonished when the officer informed me that the RMV had revoked my driver's license. I don't know when and I don't know why, because I -- like so many Massachusetts drivers -- was never told by the RMV," Graham wrote. "Most Massachusetts taxpayers are working so hard just to keep up with Patrick administration's new taxes and tolls that they don't have time to ponder their drivers licenses."

According to state records, Graham's license was revoked in October 2008. Graham was sent a letter notifying him of the revocation, according to registry spokeswoman Ann Dufresne.

Graham did not respond to the letter, according to the registry.

Graham hosts "The Natural Truth” on WTKK radio and is well-known for his strong conservative views.

“I do talk radio for normal people. I don’t happen to be one, but I admire normal people tremendously," Graham wrote on the station's Web site.

Graham did not criticize the Framingham police, calling them "fine professionals" on his Web page.
