Charges: Pope Co. Man Spied On Girl In The Shower

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A 37-year-old west-central Minnesota man is accused of watching a girl bathe through a small hole in a bathroom shower.

Lance Allen Daniels, of rural Villard, is charged with interference against a minor under 18, according to the Pope County Sheriff's Office.
