MINNEAPOLIS — A traveler from Valrico concealed a camera inside a book and surreptitiously recorded men at an airport urinal, authorities said Wednesday.

Joshua Fletcher, 34, faces two gross misdemeanor counts of interference with privacy.

The incident happened Monday at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport as Fletcher awaited a flight to Florida, authorities said.

An airport spokesman said it came to light when a traveler alerted police he had been taped in a bathroom.

Authorities said Fletcher had rigged a book to hide a camera.

It occurred in the same restroom where former U.S. Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, was arrested in 2007 and accused of soliciting sex from an undercover police officer, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.

Fletcher was released Wednesday pending an April hearing.
