According to a warrant filed by the Currituck County Sheriff’s Office and reported by local station Fox 8, the alleged incident occurred on October 10.

The November 26 warrant states that the 42-year-old “unlawfully, willfully, and feloniously” installed a camera in the bathroom and bedroom “with the intent to capture the image of another without their consent.”
The game show champ was arrested on December 1.
