A man from Lakewood has been arrested, accused of hiding a camera in the bathroom of a woman's home he burglarized.
The incident happened Monday at the woman’s home on Pawnee Road.
According to police, Jacob A. Farkas, 41, stalked the woman for about three years before he was taken into custody.
Police say Farkas broke into her home and placed the small camera in the bathroom facing the shower.
The woman found it later that day and placed her own surveillance and watched him break in again the next day.
She called police.
Farkas faces three counts of burglary, stalking and invasion of privacy.
