A West Bloomfield Township trustee was arrested and faces disturbing charges involving hidden video cameras in bedrooms and bathrooms. Jibran ‘Jim’ Manna, a real estate broker, husband, father, grandfather, and stepfather, has been a township trustee since 2016.
Charges and Investigation
Earlier this week, investigators searched his office and his lakefront home after two women told police they discovered cameras hidden in smoke detectors taking video of them in their bedrooms and bathrooms. Investigators say nude videos were found on his cell phone.
Manna is charged with two counts of capturing images of an unclothed person and five counts of installing a device for eavesdropping. He is not allowed contact with the victims and not allowed to return to his home, where investigators say they found additional cameras when they executed their search warrant.
The West Bloomfield Township supervisor, Jonathan Warshay, commented on the allegations, stating that the justice system has to take its course and that the township will still conduct business as normal.
