Pretty thin gruel for a federal charge, but if that’s what it takes, fine.

ABC10 Shooting Suspect Freed on Bail, Back in Custody Within Hours
He was arrested a second time on federal charges by the FBI and is “now ineligible for bail.”
Protesters gathered outside the ABC10 building in Sacramento, California, last Thursday to object to decisions by ABC, Disney, and primary affiliate Nexstar to pull Jimmy Kimmel’s show over his lies to viewers about Charlie Kirk’s assassin.
The next day, a drive-by shooter fired at least three shots into the building. Although at 1:30 p.m. [local time] on a Friday afternoon, the property was occupied, no injuries were reported.
Shortly after 4 a.m. Saturday, the Sacramento Police Department announced the arrest of a suspect. Anibal Hernandez Santana, 64, of Sacramento, faces charges of “assault with a deadly weapon, shooting into an occupied building, and negligent discharge of a firearm.”
By Saturday night, Hernandez Santana had posted bail and was released from custody.
Just hours after his release, however, he was arrested a second time on federal charges by the FBI and is “now ineligible for bail.” According to local media outlet KCRA 3:
The FBI said [he] was arrested on probable cause for violating federal statute 47 USC 333, which has to do with interference to radio communications of stations that are licensed by the government.
Hernandez Santana is set to appear in federal court Monday at 2 p.m., the FBI told KCRA
The new jail documents note that Hernandez Santana is on a “federal hold” and is ineligible for bail.
