UPDATE: 5:30 p.m. Man arrested for peeping in Forest Quad bathroom

A cell phone did more than place calls Saturday, when a Forest Quad resident reported a case of voyeurism.\nA female student reported at about 1:35 p.m. Saturday that a man had been taking photos of her in the fourth floor women’s bathroom of the Forest Quad B wing, 1725 E. Third St., IUPD Capt. Jerry Minger said in a news release.\nThe suspected voyeur, 20-year-old Dionte Whitehead, was cited with similar behavior on the Bloomington campus in 2006.\nWhitehead is not an IU student.\n“While in a restroom stall, she realized that a camera was pointed at her from under the adjacent stall, after she noticed a flash and heard a ‘snap-shot sound,’ characteristic of cell phone camera taking a photo,” Minger said.\nThe woman told IUPD that she attempted to open the stall next to hers, but the door was locked. However, a gap between the stall’s door and wall allowed her see a person in the stall, Minger said. The woman recognized him as a dorm neighbor’s male friend, but she did not know his name, and she left the restroom to call IUPD, Minger said.\nThe man was later identified as Whitehead, who is from New Albany, Ind.\nWhitehead was involved with a similar incident in October 2006, during which he was advised of trespassing. Advisement is required before a person can be arrested of trespassing, Minger said.\n“If you’re on our property and you’re not supposed to be here, there is no sign up that says you are not welcome here,” Minger said. “We advise that person that the behavior you have exhibited is not wanted here, and please don’t come back.”\nWhitehead was taken to the Monroe County Jail, Minger said. He faces preliminary charges of voyeurism, a Class D felony and criminal trespass, a Class A misdemeanor.
