Student arrested for peeping in Wright showers

Police said they arrested an 18-year-old IU student Tuesday afternoon on charges of voyeurism, a class D felony. The student admitted Sunday to peeping in the women's showers of Wright Quad, said IU Police Department Capt. Jerry Minger.\nAt that time of his confession, IUPD filed an arrest warrant for Sung Hwan Byun after taking a statement from the man Sunday night. Later, at about 7 a.m. Tuesday, police were called to the student's Tulip Tree apartment in response to a suicide attempt, Minger said. When they arrived at the residence, the student was treated for his injuries. Officers then presented a search warrant and confiscated all his computer and photo equipment. At this point, the student admitted to trying to take pictures of the women.\nHe was then transported to Bloomington Hospital, where he was treated for self-sustained deep cuts to his wrist, Minger said. \nThe man received treatment, but just before noon the police received the warrant for his arrest, which was filed Sunday after the man's initial confession to the peeping incidents, Minger said. The timing of the arrest warrant had no connection with the suicide attempt or second confession.\nHe was then taken to Monroe County Jail but was released later Tuesday afternoon, said Monroe County Jail Sgt. Otto, who refused to give his first name.\nMinger said the student was not detained immediately Sunday because police were waiting on his arrest warrant to be issued from a judge.\n"It wasn't a danger to the community," Minger said of the student's original release Sunday. "The crime didn't involve anybody that would be in jeopardy. Voyeurs or people who commit this type of crime don't usually want to have personal contact with the people"
