ZitatAMMON — An Idaho Falls man who police say identifies as transgender was arrested Tuesday afternoon after deputies say he took photos of a woman in a fitting room in Target.
Sean Patrick Smith, 46, who also goes by Shauna Patricia Smith, was booked into the Bonneville County Jail on one felony count of voyeurism.
Bonneville County Sgt. Bryan Lovell says deputies were called to a disturbance at Target on 25th East just after 5 p.m. Monday.
A woman told them a man, dressed in women’s clothing, had entered a fitting room in the women’s clothing section of the store. Deputies say the suspect was seen taking photos of a woman in a stall next to him while she was changing.
“The woman was begging for help as she chased the man out the door,” a witness inside the store, who asked not to be named, tells EastIdahoNews.com. “She kept saying she wanted those pictures deleted.”
The suspect, later identified as Smith, left the store, and Lovell says detectives located him Tuesday afternoon.
Smith was booked into the Bonneville County Jail as a male, according to Lovell.
Lovell says detectives are investigating to see if there are other victims.
I don't know about you but in my area Target is running a host of commercials telling me how socially conscious it and its employees are, and extolling the charitable acts they perform. Ok, nice, I suppose, but doesn't make up for the stupidity of their restroom policy.
ZitatA man accused of videotaping young girls in a Target dressing room was arrested Thursday night in New Hampshire, according to Bedford police.
Zachery Bishop, 22, was allegedly recording two underage girls in the Target store on South River Road in Bedford, N.H. Wednesday night when police were called.
"Allegedly the young ladies were in the fitting room and they observed a device over the top of the partition between the two rooms," Bedford police chief John Bryfonski told FOX25.
One of the young ladies confronted the man and then took it one step further.
"She actually followed the subject out of the store trying to restrain him," Bryfonski said.
Before officers could arrive, police say Bishop took off. Target helped police identify the suspect, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
The 22-year-old Raymond resident turned himself in and has been charged with violation of privacy.
Police worry that there may be more victims out there.

Maybe now is the time for a natural born killer, a ruthless fighter, a warrior. Because right about now we need a miracle, or America is finished. Maybe the rules of gentleman don’t apply here. Maybe a gentleman and “all-around nice Christian” would lead us to slaughter." Wayne Allyn Root
