The FCC has ordered a local man to pay a $17,000 fine for running an unlicensed radio station on Blue Hill Avenue.

The FCC says Charles Clemons continued to run Touch FM at 106.1 FM even after FCC field investigators - acting on a complaint from engineers at licensed stations - told him to knock it off.

When confronted with the station's operation, Clemons did not deny operating the station. The agents advised Clemons that he must discontinue the unlicensed operation immediately and outlined the possible penalties for continued operation of an unlicensed station. When the agents asked to conduct an inspection of the station, Clemons refused. When questioned, he stated that the studio was at a different location, but refused to provide the address.

The order is dated Feb. 29, but the FCC ruled this week that Clemons was now a deadbeat because he had failed to pay the fine.

As of this morning, at least, the station was not streaming on its Web site. UPDATE, 3:20 p.m.: It's back, at least on the Web.

Ed. clueless note: Is this Dorchester or Roxbury?

Boston Police say they had Mohammed Kaba, 21, of Roslindale, cornered in the Hip Zepi clothing store on Blue Hill Avenue yesterday afternoon, when he bolted:

Officers were waiting at the front door anticipating the suspects attempted escape and engaged him in a struggle after he broke the glass front door of the store. After a brief but violent struggle officers were able to place the suspect in handcuffs and arrest him.

Police say Kaba was already wanted for assault with intent to murder and a variety of drug and weapons charges. Because, they say, they found him with a loaded weapon and several bags of pot, he now faces a whole slew of new charges, including being an "armed career criminal." At 21.

Kaba was taken down by the Boston Police Fugitive Unit, the Boston Police SWAT team, the Homicide Unit and the Youth Violence Strike Force.

Meanwhile, female companions of some alleged thuglets learned an important lesson at 214 Harvard St. in Dorchester yesterday afternoon: If the police are busy arresting your boyfriends (ages 13 through 18) on trespassing and marijuana charges, and they ask you to leave the scene, you might want to do so rather than jump the cops, because then the police are going to arrest you as well, even if one of you is only 11.

The Herald reports a couple of guys in a brown Japanese sedan were spotted dumping what turned out to be a male body near the Franklin Park Zoo's overflow parking lot last night.

Police are also investigating a Chinatown stabbing last night: They say a man made it to South Station after being stabbed in a bar where he said the bartender kicked him out after he was sliced open.

NStar worker injured, but expected to survive the flash fire under Freeport Street.

When the Honda Accord failed to stop for a stop sign on Westville Street in Dorchester one day last month, officers pulled it over and promptly noticed "several dozen" air fresheners hanging inside it - 47 to be exact:

... Forty-seven air fresheners in a single Honda Accord. The officers knew from past experience that many air fresheners in a vehicle are usually used to mask the odor from marijuana use or chronic excessive flatulence. The bag of pot laying on the center console suggested the drug theory was probably the correct one. ...

The now closed Dot. Ave bar, that is:

... The drinks were stiff and cheap, and served up in clear plastic cups. The bartenders had Irish brogues. The DJs played standard Top 40 hits, and the dancefloor would get packed by a pretty diverse crowd of Irish folks, Dot natives, and black kids. ...

Scuttling crab in Dorchester Bay, right off UMass-Boston:

Both the officer and the other driver taken away after the crash at Morton and Washington streets Monday evening.

Allegedly, of course. Boston Police report that parishoners at Most Precious Blood Church in Hyde Park arrived on Sunday to find "a broken stained glass window, missing oriental rugs, an open safe, and chalices thrown about the upper church."

And then they found the alleged perp - asleep! - in the lower church. Police roused him from his reverie - with one officer injured during the resulting fray:

A search of the suspect produced a gold spoon with religious symbols, two knifes, a sword, and prescription pills. Charles Martin, 47, of West Roxbury was charged with Breaking and Entering a Building with Intent to Commit a Felony, Destruction or Injury of Personal Property, Dangerous Weapons Unlawfully Carried, Resisting Arrest, Assault and Battery on A Police Officer (with injuries), and Possession of Class E Drugs.

Meanwhile, over in Dorchester, police report breaking up a girl fight early Sunday morning at 108 Westville St. - four 20something women arrested.

Finally, early this morning, police responding to reports of shots fired near Bowdoin and Mount Ida streets promptly stopped a car they say was weaving and had obstructions that prevented the driver from fully seeing where he was going. The two occupants were arrested after police found two guns in the car and despite one of the men's protestations that "neither of them were used in no shooting."

Innocent as little lambs, etc.
