Restroom Cove camera alleged planter is charged
A series of charges have resulted after a camera was found in a women’s restroom at The Cove at Concord Park earlier this month.
A Knox County Grand Jury indicted Tony Lynn Strand, 33, of Clinton three counts of especially aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor, observation without consent and burglary Wednesday, April 16, according to Knox County Sheriff’s Office.
He is being held on a $500,000 bond after being booked into Roger D. Wilson Detention Facility, sheriff’s office officials said.
KCSO’s Major Crimes Unit got involved when someone noticed something suspicious. After a search on Tuesday, April 8, they found a camera attached to the ceiling.
Sheriff’s Office officials believe the camera had been attached to the ceiling dating back to Monday, March 24.
Anyone who used that women’s restroom at The Cove during that time frame is urged to reach out to Major Crimes Unit detectives by e-mailing MCUTips@KnoxSheriff.org with the date they visited and their contact information.
