Authorities said that American Idol winner Laine Hardy was arrested on Friday, April 29 after being accused of placing a listening device in his ex-college girlfriend’s dorm room.

Hardy, 21, of Livingston, Louisiana, is charged with felony interception and disclosure of wire, electronic, or oral communication, according to Ernie Ballard, a spokesman for Louisiana State University.

If found guilty, he could face a fine of up to $10,000 and or a prison sentence of two to 10 years.

In a statement to USA Today, Hardy’s attorney, C. Frank Holthaus, stated that his client “has been and will continue to be completely cooperative with the Louisiana State University Police Department on this matter.”

According to the arrest warrant, on April 6, a woman and her roommate discovered a recording device inside their dorm room. They reported the discovery to LSU police the next day. According to the warrant, the woman told police she discovered the device, which appeared to be a phone charger, under her futon.

She told officers that she thought her ex-boyfriend, Hardy, had left the device in her room earlier because he seemed to know details about her life that she hadn’t told him about.
