According to police, a pervert concealed himself in the waste tank of a portaloo at a US yoga festival to observe women using the restroom.
Authorities reported that Luke Chrisco, 30, was apprehended in Vail, a town in Colorado located west of Boulder, after being discovered and fleeing the location covered in human waste.
On June 17, during the Hanuman Yoga Festival, police stated that the incident occurred when a woman noticed some movement inside the storage tank and requested a male bystander to check it out.
The bystander reported to police that he saw an individual covered by a tarpaulin within the tank. A security guard stood outside the toilet for 10 minutes before a shirtless, barefoot man with multiple cuts on his back and legs emerged, smeared in excrement.
The man ran across the festival grounds but was later apprehended when police, addressing an unrelated complaint, stopped his car and recognized his resemblance to the suspect involved in the bathroom incident at the festival the previous week.
Boulder police spokeswoman Kim Kobel mentioned that investigators are reviewing statements made by Chrisco, who admitted to spying on women in bathrooms at various local businesses. Authorities have discovered some peep holes as well.
Chrisco has been charged with one count of unlawful sexual contact and one count of criminal invasion of privacy.
He is currently being held with a bond of $952 for the initial charge, and a bond of $1428 for the alleged toilet offences.
