COLERAIN TWP. – A 41-year-old man was charged over the weekend with snapping pictures of a naked woman in a tanning bed at a salon.

Jeffrey Barrier faces charges of disorderly conduct and obstructing official business, court records show.

He stood on a chair and took shots with his cell phone camera of the victim, 35, in a tanning room Saturday at Aloha Tanning, 3118 Springdale Rd., police wrote in court records.

When police found Barrier, he denied taking the pictures and said he had no camera.

But when police searched him, they discovered he had hidden the camera in his anus, records state.


Barrier is scheduled to go before a judge this morning.

HAMILTON -- A judge has sentenced a man to three years in prison for stealing 840 frozen pizzas over three years.

Butler County prosecutors say 47-year-old Steven Proffitt, of Fairfield, pleaded guilty last week in Hamilton to four counts of breaking and entering. Prosecutors say he also pleaded guilty to failure to comply with a police officer's order and falsification. Authorities say Proffitt cut locks off refrigerated trucks at Kraft Foods in Monroe in Southwest Ohio.

They say he loaded hundreds of pies into his pickup truck four times, starting in 2006. Monroe police say they chased Proffitt in his truck after a theft March 21, but he got away after crashing the truck.

They arrested Proffitt a few days later after he reported his truck stolen.

Beer-pong coach faces charges

A Mason High School basketball coach was charged today in connection with a “beer pong” party at his home in January.

Michael J. Crotty – a longtime assistant coach for the boys basketball program at Mason – was charged with “knowingly allowing underage persons to remain at his residence while possessing or consuming alcohol,” according to charges filed this afternoon by Mason Police.

The party, which took place in January, included 19-year-olds who had graduated from Mason High School the previous year.

Crotty was not immediately available for comment.

Crotty was photographed at the party playing a drinking game called “beer pong” with the teenagers.

He will be summoned to Mason Municipal Court, said police, and will be arraigned on the charge, which is a first degree misdemeanor and could result in a six-month jail sentence if he is convicted.
