A school teacher at an upstate New York middle school was arrested Monday, Feb 14, for allegedly planting a hidden camera in a staff bathroom.
Police said it appears the camera which resembled a phone charger was in place for a couple of days, and it was just discovered last Friday, Feb. 11, after capturing images of several staffers inside the bathroom.
According to reports, the suspects identified as Patrick Morgan, 57, was charged with 22 counts of unlawful surveillance for allegedly placing the recording device inside the employee restroom at Sand Creek Middle School in the Albany County town of Colonie, WNYT-TV reported.
Morgan — who has taught in the district for 28 years — was placed on administrative leave.
He was set free Monday on supervised release and a judge ordered him to undergo a mental health evaluation.
