MI - James Holland pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of stalking, two misdemeanor counts of attempted eavesdropping and one misdemeanor count of illegal entry, said Steven Hiller, deputy chief assistant prosecutor for Washtenaw County.
Holland had faced more serious felony charges of home invasion and eavesdropping, but the charges were reduced in a plea deal, Hiller said...
Holland's former girlfriend discovered a voice-activated tape recorder hidden in a flower basket on a wall in her home Sept. 4 and contacted the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Department, sheriff's Sgt. David Archer said. Deputies interviewed Holland that night and he admitted to placing two tape recorders in his ex-girlfriend's home, Archer said.
"He confessed to a second recorder in the bedroom of the victim,'' Archer said.
Archer said Holland had entered his ex-girlfriend's home with a duplicate key, which he had made before he returned a key she had given him. (more)
