BAYTOWN, TEXAS Police in Baytown have filed improper photography charges against a man they say tried to take upskirt pictures as he shopped with his girlfriend. The woman was in a Walgreens on Highway 146 and Massey-Tompkins Road in Baytown with her husband. Police say Johnson started following the 29-year-old woman through various aisles and she caught the man with an outstretched arm and a cell phone snapping up her skirt.

Police say Timothy Lee Johnson was in such a hurry to get away from the Walgreens after being confronted by the alleged victim that he left his girlfriend behind in the store. On Wednesday he was in court to face the charges against him.

Walgreens upskirt snapper arrested

Walgreens customers in Baytown expect to be recorded by surveillance cameras when they are shopping, however the surveillance cameras Sunday evening snapped Johnson conducting some snapping of his own, by allegedly placing a cell phone camera underneath a woman’s skirt without her knowledge, for what prosecutors say was Johnson’s “sexual gratification.”

“I think it’s a little bit creepy and disgusting, I guess,” said Walgreens customer Maxine Monsegue. “I would have to say, to think that you’re just out shopping and minding your own business and somebody is violating you like that.”

“It’s just insanely weird,” said Walgreens customer Christopher Carter. “It’s odd, creepy!”

The woman says when she noticed Johnson she was able to push him away. The store’s surveillance video shows him leaving the store in a hurry.

The alleged victim’s husband spotted Johnson getting into his vehicle and followed him, leading police right to him. When they arrived, they checked the phone and found no pictures or videos, suspecting it had been erased.

“The fact that there wasn’t anything present at all could also be a red flag,” suggested Lt. Eric Freed with the Baytown Police Department. it just seems uncommon that there wouldn’t be anything.”

But just like files deleted from a computer, detectives say what’s been recorded on cell phones can usually be retrieved from cyberspace.

“The fact that there wasn’t a picture readily available isn’t going to keep us from searching deeper to see if there’s something stored on the camera that we didn’t initially find in a cursory search,” Lt. Freed explained.

Johnson is out on $2,000 bond. He is charged with improper photography a state jail felony. If convicted, he could face between six months and two years in a state jail, and face a $10,000 fine.
Police confirmed they had no other similar upskirting complaints recently in Baytown.
