Mug shot of Bernard MorrisA former UTC student who pleaded guilty to planting hidden cameras inside clocks of four dorm rooms at the school could face three to six years in prison.
Bernard Morris, 24, pleaded guilty Thursday to four counts of aggravated burglary and two related burglary charges to Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Don Poole.
The judge set April 16 for Morris’ sentencing and also for a hearing on what punishment he’ll face for violating his probation on a previous charge of stalking and harassing a high school student.
Morris, a former resident assistant in a University of Tennessee at Chattanooga dormitory, faced 14 felony charges in relation to the Oct. 28, 2010 dorm-room break-ins.
A student living in the Guerry dorm building, where Morris lived, reported to campus police after finding a chest of drawers had been moved, a headboard leaning forward and a Walmart bag full of women’s underwear beneath his bed.
