Like Sheriff Judd says, you know it has to be true, because you just can’t make this up. Today’s #CriminalOfTheDay is 41-year-old Scott Chandler, who worked at the Circle K store on US 98 North at Duff Road in north Lakeland. He was working on Valentine’s weekend when a female customer went into the ladies room – while there, she saw a flash under the sink. Upon further inspection, she found an iPhone inside a white envelope sitting on the pipes under the sink. She got the phone out, opened it up, and to her horror found pics taken of her, and at least four other unknown women who had previously been in that restroom. She did the right thing, and called PCSO.
When deputies arrived, Chandler confessed that he was “curious” so he hid his phone in the ladies room, and controlled the camera with his iWatch to take pics of women. He got a ride to the Polk County Jail, with felony charges of video voyeurism.
Here’s where we need your help – if you used the ladies room at that store during the late evening hours of Saturday, February 13th into the early morning hours of Sunday, February 14th, (from 10:00 p.m. until almost 1:00 a.m.) we’d like to add more criminal charges on this suspect. Right now we only have the victim who caught him positively identified - as a reminder, we do not release victim information, per Marsy’s Law.
Please contact PCSO at 863-298-6200 in reference to case number 21-6503. And remember, just like this victim did – if you see something, say something.
