Kenneth Powell, 28, was supposed to appear in court for a previous peeping charge in DeKalb County on the same day he allegedly committed the crime at the Target store.
“It’s obviously alarming on anyone. It’s being recorded, especially in the privacy of a restroom,” said Cpl. Juan Madiedo of the Gwinnett County Police Department.

The incident occurred when a woman noticed a phone pointing under her stall door in the women’s restroom at the Target store. She shouted, alerting others to the situation.
Police reported that Powell had been pacing near the restrooms for nearly 10 minutes before entering the women’s bathroom. Surveillance footage captured him leaving the scene in a black car.
Investigators used technology, including Flock cameras, to track Powell down. He is currently being held without bond, as he is considered a risk of committing more crimes.
The victim is recovering, and police commend her for calling for help promptly. They urge anyone with video recordings of the suspect to save the footage and contact authorities.
