EASTON, Conn. — A volunteer EMS provider was arrested for taking inappropriate photos of patients, according to police.

WTNH reported that Christopher Barlow, 21, took the photos while riding in the back of ambulances with patients. Police also believe he placed a hidden camera inside the bathroom of an EMS station.

Barlow was arrested and charged with two counts of voyeurism.

Police said Barlow is also accused of stealing two firearms from a colleague, forging documents to pose as a police officer and making false statements on a firearm application.

Barlow was indicted last year after allegedly claiming to be a Homeland Security agent and stockpiling weapons, including explosives.
