The director of a gun violence prevention group based in the
Bronx is facing drug and gun-related charges.
Michael Rodriguez, 48, is the director of the nonprofit Bronx Rises Against Gun Violence (B.R.A.G.), a program that says it works to promote safe streets throughout the borough.
After a two-yearlong investigation, prosecutors in court say he allegedly supplied cocaine to drug dealers in Hudson Valley.
Rodriguez is one of 15 people being charged with these crimes.
