A registered sex offender was arrested in Texas over the weekend for secretly taking pictures of women inside the women’s restroom while dressed as a female.
Police in Fort Worth charged Douglas Brent Egan with improper photo/video in a bathroom, according to KDFW, the Fox TV affiliate in Dallas.
He was also charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon for pulling what police said was a pepper ball gun on a man who tried to stop Egan after a woman confronted the sex offender about his alleged behavior.
The incident happened Saturday at the Hulen Mall after a woman noticed Egan was positioning his cell phone under a bathroom stall wall in order to take photos of her, according to a police statement provided to the trial network Law & Crime.
