According to court documents, one woman initially reported finding a “micro camera” under the bathroom stall next to the one she was using. The women told authorities she saw Greenlee outside the women’s restroom using his cell phone, claiming he needed to go inside to get some paper towels.
Another woman reported finding a camera attached to the underside of a toilet three days later. Authorities stated Greenlee initially denied knowing anything about the hidden cameras.
