Three men face charges after a hidden camera was discovered in a workout room at Wayne County High School.

 

Wayne County prosecutor Thomas Plymale tells media outlets the camera was capable of video surveillance. He says it was disguised as a smoke detector and mounted on the ceiling.

 

Police charged 51-year-old James Ramey III of Wayne, 42-year-old Scott Followay of Wayne, and 52-year-old Jeffrey Spence of Wayne and Portsmouth, Ohio, with trespassing and destruction of property. Ramey is a former mayor of Wayne.

 

Plymale says the football team uses the room to review game video. He says the motive for the camera is unclear but he doesn't believe it was put in the room to capture images of students.

 

Ramey tells WSAZ-TV that the men haven't committed any crimes.
