Bathroom SpyCam Found in Private Home

AL - A camera that a couple found hidden in their bathroom Tuesday led to the arrest Thursday of a Danville man, Lawrence County Sheriff Gene Mitchell said.

Mitchell said authorities arrested Michael Dewayne Richard, 34, of 3670 Alabama 157 and charged him with third-degree burglary, a class C felony, and criminal eavesdropping, a misdemeanor.

According to the sheriff, investigators retrieved a camera and an extensive amount of wiring from the couple's residence in the Wren community.

Mitchell said the wiring stretched from the outside of the house to the bathroom.

He said the suspect had attempted to hide the wiring by attaching it to a water hose and feeding it under the house. (more)
