SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — A man has been arrested after allegedly recording people in a restroom at Fashion Square mall in Scottsdale, according to court documents.
Jonathan Roy Jackson, 23, was arrested on Sunday after police were called to the shopping center.
Court documents obtained by 12News on Monday reveal the victim believed he was being recorded after noticing a bag on the floor of the restroom stall next to him.
The clear bag had a black object inside that was pointed at the victim.
The victim also noticed the shoes worn by the individual in the stall, black Crocs with a colorful design.
The bag remained on the floor for around two minutes. Believing he was being recorded, the victim stood up.
The occupant with the bag then left the restroom.
The victim returned to the restroom around 45 minutes later and saw the same bag and shoes in a different stall in the restroom.
Moments later the individual wearing Crocs walked to the front of the stall the victim went into and again the bag was placed at the stall door with the black object pointed in the direction of the victim.
The victim confronted the individual, now identified as Jackson, who apologized. To prevent Jackson from leaving, the victim punched him and contacted the police department.
During an interview with police, Jackson allegedly told investigators he has a "problem" and records men in the restroom, court records show.
Jackson faces one count of unlawful video recording.
