Romayne Davis, who local Florida police say operated a pirate station, turned himself into authorities and is now free on bond.

 

Because of Florida’s strict state law about unauthorized transmissions, the 23-year-old faces up to five years in prison on a felony, reports WPEC(TV), West Palm Beach, Fla.

 

Police say Davis operated an illegal station out of a warehouse since March using a laptop running iTunes.

 

The investigation began in July when a listener to American Public Media’s Classical South Florida WKCP(FM), Miami complained that rap music was blocking the signal on 89.7 MHz.

 

Police recovered a computer, transmitter and other gear which they said was used to broadcast the unauthorized station on 89.5 MHz.
