Police say it happened right here in Madison at the Westgate Mall. Just this past Monday authorities say a woman entered a restroom stall and while inside noticed a man peeping over the top of it from the next stall.

"The suspect took off running," say Madison Police Lieutenant, Dan Olivas. "He ran out of Westgate Mall. The employees at the mall contacted police."

Authorities arrested 19 year old Byron Mitchell and are charging him with 2 counts disorderly conduct. We caught up with Mitchell's mother who had spoken with him after he was arrested and had this to say.

"He said he didn't (do it) but I don't know," says mother Carolyn Deleon. "I just don't know what to think because I don't see my son as being like that."

Mall employees set up a sting operation to catch Mitchell in the act but authorities say this is not the first time that a peeping Tom has been spotted at the mall.

"It's very concerning to us that it's being under reported," says Olivas. "If there are other people out there that have been victimized in this fashion we'd like them to contact the police department."

None of the women accusing Mitchell say he hurt them in any way. He's currently on a probation hold and awaiting a court appearance.

"I can only say that I am truly sorry because I would be totally offended if someone tried to peep in on me while I'm privately using the bathroom," says Deleon.
