Hair dresser takes explicit client pics

A man who allegedly pretended to be a hair dresser so he could take sexually explicit photos of his clients has been apprehended.

The US Marshals Service says a task force arrested 53-year-old James Hickey on Friday.

Hickey is wanted on 14 counts of surreptitious videotaping as well as charges of voyeurism and probation violation.

Authorities say Hickey would approach homes and apartment complexes in Arizona and California and pose as a hair dresser looking for in-home work.

While cutting people's hair, he allegedly secretly recorded or took sexually graphic pictures.

Hickey previously served time for burglary and unlawful recording and videotaping.

It was not known if he had an attorney.
