The Case of the Salacious Solicitor

OH - Jackson Township police arrest a local attorney for allegedly spying on his neighbors with a digital audio recorder.

Police say 31-year-old Aaron Ridenbaugh was caught by neighbors as he tried to place the recorder outside one of their windows at the Fox Haven Apartments in Jackson Township.

When questioned by police, Ridenbaugh initially denied the claims but detectives say he later admitted to setting up the recorders for his own "personal pleasure."

According to Harley Neftzer, Jackson Township Police Chief, Ridenbaugh wrapped a wire around the recorder and placed it on the outside of the window with a thumbtack.

Detectives also searched Ridenbaugh's apartment where they discovered a hole in one of his closets, which they believe he used to spy on his next door neighbors. ...

Detectives believe Ridenbaugh is responsible for at least three other incidents that began back in 2005. (more)
