David I. Sutton (Wall Township Police Department).
Video from police cameras in Wall Township, New Jersey, shows officers chasing a former Target worker accused of secretly taking a photo up a customer’s skirt.
The suspect, David I. Sutton, was arrested in August for privacy invasion, obstructing justice, and harassment. Additionally, authorities later charged him with possession of child pornography, claiming they found a significant amount of such material in his possession.
According to the recorded footage, a Target employee reported that another worker touched a customer’s leg and covertly took a photo up her skirt on August 27.
“And after looking into it, it was this team member here,” the witness employee said. It appears that the witness employee and officer were reviewing surveillance footage of the crime, though the body camera is blurred here and elsewhere inside the store.
He described the suspect as currently being inside a bathroom stall for more than 15 minutes.
The point-of-view officer relayed details to his colleagues outside the store.
“How does this guy ever think he’s going to get away with something like that?” one of them asked, exasperated.
“I don’t know,” said the point-of-view officer. “People are weird.”
“Bizarre.”
But as seen on the body camera, Sutton ended up leaving the store. Or as the officer put it, “He’s f—ing running.”
The officer gave chase.
“Yo! Stop!” he called out. Sutton stopped and surrendered. “If you want to make this f—in worse, I’ll make it f—in worse. Turn around. Put your hands behind your back.”
Sutton’s case is still pending.
