Hidden Camera Found In Dome Dressing Room

A strange thing happened in the Seahawk SeaGal dressing room in the Kingdome Sunday: a SeaGal tipped her head back to sip a soda and saw a camera looking back at her.

That was just before noon. By the time the Seahawks pulled out a narrow victory, King County police and Kingdome authorities were hot on the trail of the person who mounted the video camera above the dressing-room ceiling.

By yesterday, a Kingdome staff member, 37, had been suspended from work.

Contents of the videotape were not released. But none of the SeaGals were changing into their uniforms at the time, said Joanne Elledge, King County police spokeswoman.

The employee was interviewed by police detectives and was very cooperative, Elledge said. He was released after making a statement and was not arrested.
