This should be an interesting case to follow as it develops in the courts.

Camera discovered in private bathroom; Danville man arrested
By Ronnie Thomas
MOULTON — It was more than a takeoff on the old
television show, "Candid Camera."
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.
Officers later released Richard from Lawrence County Jail on a $3,000 bond.
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.
After investigators collected the wiring and
camera along with other items they found
underneath the residence, Mitchell said, they
discovered evidence that linked Richard to the crimes.
Mitchell said an investigator questioned Richard
on Thursday and later executed a search warrant
at his residence, where more evidence was gathered that led to the charges.
