Complained Of Dropped Calls Before Arrest Of Alleged Cell Phone Jammer

The CTA passenger, a 63-year-old man from Chicago, faced charges on Tuesday for allegedly resorting to an illegal device in order to enjoy some peace and quiet.
According to CBS 2's Audrina Bigos, this is not the first time the man has been accused of jamming cell phones, and the significant number of complaints about dropped calls has caused some alarm.
Dressed in business casual attire and a ball cap, Dennis Nicholl, a certified public accountant, was released from jail after being charged with a felony for using a signal jamming device.
Keegan Goudie observed that the device stood out significantly, prompting him and his brother to share their experience on thesixthirty.com after coming across it on the CTA Red Line.
Chas observed that he was likely involved in nefarious activities, and that the device appeared to be unsuitable for him to be in possession of.
Cell phone jamming devices are available for purchase online, with prices typically falling between $30 and $300. It is important to note that federal law prohibits the sale, purchase, or use of these devices. These signal blocker are designed to disrupt cell phone signals, police communications, and emergency calls.
According to Keegan, it exemplifies the potential of any individual when it comes to security and the risks posed by terrorists in a major city.
After an extensive investigation spanning months, the Chicago Police responded to complaints of dropped calls on the Red Line. Following a tip from a 911 caller, the notorious Nicholl was apprehended by undercover officers on a CTA platform on Tuesday and is now facing a felony charge.
Attorney Charles Lauer clarified that there was no intention to cause harm to anyone.

Nicholl's legal representative asserts that his client's intention behind using the jammer was solely to escape the annoyance caused by the multitude of individuals engrossed in their cell phones, in order to find some peace and quiet.
According to the FCC regulations, individuals caught using cell phone blocker may be sentenced to prison and fined significantly. The fines can go up to $16,000 per violation or reach a maximum of $112,000 for a single offense.
After being bailed out, Nicholl left jail on Wednesday night.
