Janitor at App State University accused of peeping

BOONE, NC (AP) — Authorities have accused a janitor at a North Carolina university of peeping on students in a residence hall bathroom after a cell phone was found in a vent.

A statement from Appalachian State University said campus police received a report on Oct. 15 about the cell phone being found in a vent of a third-floor bathroom in Eggers Residence Hall, news outlets reports.

Officials at the school said they started investigating immediately, and by the next day had inspected the entire building. Additional measures were taken to ensure there was no other access to bathroom vents.

After retrieving the phone, police arrested Jerry Alan McGlamery, 49, of Wilkes County and charged him with secret peeping. McGlannery is on leave pending an investigation. According to the school, McGlannery has not worked on campus since Oct. 15 and is not allowed to return to campus.

Appalachian State is located in Boone, approximately 100 miles northwest of Charlotte.
