SALISBURY, Conn. (AP) - Police in Connecticut say a man charged with installing four cameras inside a woman’s home without her knowledge said he did it because he “just wanted to know what she was doing.”
The Republican-American reports that 57-year-old Christopher Pelgrift, of Salisbury, was charged with burglary, stalking, breach of peace and voyeurism.
Police say he briefly hired the woman as a health coach and entered her home in Salisbury on Tuesday, placing cameras in the bathrooms and bedrooms. The woman noticed a camera and called police.
Police say Pelgrift inadvertently captured images of himself installing the cameras.
He posted $75,000 bond and was ordered to stay away from the woman.
Pelgrift says he has bipolar disorder and is a recovering substance abuser. No lawyer was listed in court records.
