This is kind of totally disturbing.
Police have arrested an electrician that is accused of installing hidden video cameras in the bathrooms of some of his customers!!!!
David Mitchell Clark, a 34 year-old from Rancho Cucamonga, CA, is believed to have victimized several people as he apparently installed the cams in many homes.
Prosecutors have already filed criminal charges against Clark and a search of Clark's home revealed video footage of many unidentified women in bathrooms.
Clark was arrested and charged with two felony counts of burglary and two misdemeanor "peeping Tom" charges.
And like a lot of criminals who are caught red-handed, Clark pleaded not guilty to the charges on Friday. He remains in custody at West Valley Detention Center with bail set at $285,000 and is scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
The first evidence of Clark secretly recording the footage came up back in August. Apparently he left a power tool with a camera attached to it next to a toilet in someone's home while doing some work.
When the residents confronted him, he wrote a letter stating the camera was attached to the tool in order to allow him to lower the tool into the walls and view footage while he works.
Clever response.
A woman who lives at the home later contacted authorities this September. Cops then searched her home and found an audio receiver and a video recorder in the attic. And on the recorder's hard drive they then found footage of a woman changing clothes in a bathroom.
The footage belonged to a friend of the homeowner who recently had remodeled his home and had hired Clark for the electrical work. Police searched the bathroom and found a small wireless camera hidden on the bottom plate of an electrical socket.
Scary!
Clark was arrested and in interviews with the police admitted to installing the hidden cams to record the women. He also admitted to installing a hidden camera in his home to record the women who lived in the apartment next to his.
But the best part is when he was asked why he did it.
And according to the police report, Clark said, "Because they were hot. It was an opportunity that I should have never considered, but I did it, and it's going to ruin my life."
Careful who you let into your homes, y'all!
