An unlicensed radio station in Summerfield has been shut down by Federal Communications Commission agents, along with detectives from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.
Detectives arrested 41-year-old Luis Alfredo Galindo and 64-year-old Juan Ramon Nieves, charging them with operating an illegal radio station on the frequency 97.7. Nieves and Galindo are both from Ocala.
The radio station was located in a mobile home in the 1700 block of SE 150th Street in Summerfield. Standing near the mobile home was a nearly 100 foot radio tower nearby, investigators indicated.
An agent stated “that someone operating a radio station without a license could cause interference with other radio stations, but could also cause interference with any aircraft flying in the area.”
