Sheriff Marco Lopez along with 5 Co-Defendants Charged with Felony Racketeering

Sheriff Marco Lopez was charged Thursday with Racketeering including employees at the now closed Eclipse Night Club. Lopez is currently being held on a $1 Million bond.

Eclipse Night Club was also known as the Fusion Social Club and was located on 192 a couple miles west from downtown Kissimmee.

Kissimmee Florida is an amazing town located in the northern section of Osceola county. Jam packed with things to do, a huge selection of the most delicious foods you've ever tasted and home to thousands or hotel rooms that were originally built to house the millions of tourist visiting Disney World. When Disney decided to build lodging on site, many of the hotels and motels began offering weekly rates for down on their luck families that were enable to afford long term housing. 

One of these motels (image above) was situated next door to the now closed Eclipse Night Club on route 192 in the heart of Kissimmee. This is one of the spots Marco Lopez used to run his illegal gambling operations.
