Police responded to a report of a shiny object found in a hat placed on a shelf across from a toilet in a staff bathroom at the preschool around midday on May 18. Once officers were given the item, it was determined that it was an audio and video recorder with a small USB connection that is designed to look like a pen, according to a police report.

Video from the pen allegedly showed a worker at the Learning Experience in the bathroom and a man placing the device where it was found. The man was identified as McNeil, who was an electrician doing some work at the daycare. more
