A Kenai man was charged with indecency on Saturday for placing a hidden camera in a Soldotna gym, according to a dispatch from the Alaska State Troopers.

The troopers were tipped off about the camera in October 2021, the dispatch states, and after a “lengthy investigation” Dallas Pierren, 26, was charged with one count of attempted indecent photography.

The dispatch did not state which gym the camera was found in.

Anyone with additional information regarding this case is asked to contact the troopers.
