Maintenance Man Arrested, Allegedly Stole Personal Photos

A Nottingham man has been arrested and charged after police say he used his position as a maintenance worker at an area apartment complex to download personal photographs from residents computers.

John David Wittman, 54, of the unit block of Chapeltowne Circle, was arrested and faces two counts of third-degree burglary, illegally accessing a computer, copying or possessing a database without permission, posession of obscene materials with the intent to distribute, and publishing or distributing obscene materials, according to a search of online court records.

Wittman was released from the Baltimore County Detention Center on Mar. 28 on $100,000 bond, a search of court records shows.

Police say that around 1 p.m. Mar. 26 Wittman, who works as a maintenance man, entered an apartment in the Cub Hill Apartments complex on Lava Court in Carney on a work order to fix a door.

Once inside, Wittman accessed the laptop computers of two female residents, downloaded personal photographs from them and shared those photographs with other people, a police report states.
