FRANKLIN - An employee with the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office was arrested by the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office for video voyeurism after watching his ex-girlfriend inside her residence using surveillance cameras he installed, SMPSO said.

Mihn Ngo, 33, was arrested for video voyeurism, computer tampering and stalking. Officials said a person reported a possible crime involving Ngo, which was forwarded to a supervisor and then referred to the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office, where the alleged crime happened.
