A former maintenance worker at a Greenville apartment complex has been charged with videotaping residents using a tanning bed.

Tommy Peaden is charged with 85 felony counts of secret peeping by obtaining video images without permission and another 85 counts of secret peeping by possession of those images.

Police have been overwhelmed with phone calls from potential victims since making public the discovery of a camera inside the apartment's club house. The camera was found in the attic crawl space and one videotape was recovered.

Investigators says the 85 charges are based on the number of separate pictures recovered, not the number of victims.

Peaden is in jail on a $50,000 secured bond.
