NEOSHO, Mo. -- A southwest Missouri teenager faces a felony charge after he was allegedly caught attempting to secretly videotape girls in a high school locker room.

Vincent James Ruzic, a 17-year-old senior at Neosho High School, remained jailed Friday on $5,000 bond on an invasion of privacy charge. He was expected to be arraigned Monday.

Neosho police chief Dave McCracken said he was not sure how Ruzic allegedly managed to get the camcorder into the locker room.

Officers began investigating the incident Wednesday after some of the alleged victims approached the school's resource officer.

A camcorder and videotape were later taken from Ruzic, McCracken said. The chief said he had not watched the tape and did not know what was on it.

It appeared Ruzic acted alone, he said.
