MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICEGoodyear, Ariz., police officer Jeffrey Streeter was arrested Oct. 29 for illegally taping women at a tanning salon, Avondale police said.
An Arizona police officer was arrested for secretly recording more than 20 women on his phone while they changed at a tanning salon, Avondale police said.
Jeffrey Streeter, a nine-year veteran of the Goodyear Police Department, was charged with 21 counts of surreptitious recording and one count of tampering with physical evidence.
A 20-year-old female customer at Desert Escape Tanning Center noticed a camera phone on the top of a changing room dividing wall as she undressed Oct. 15, according toazcentral.com. Streeter, 44, was in the stall next to her, police said.
Streeter told authorities he put his gun on top of the 8-foot wall, not a phone. But police said that was improbable.
When investigators searched Streeter's phone, they found video recordings of 21 women, police said. They said they also found evidence the phone's memory card had been formatted to try to erase its contents.
"He was reaching over on some of the videos and attempting to record the females while they were undressing or getting dressed," Sgt. Mathew Hintz toldKPHO. "There were also some videos where he was recording through the partition door."
The recordings were most likely taped over a time frame of one to three months at the same salon, Hintz told the Daily News.
Streeter was arrested Oct. 29 and has been placed on administrative leave pending the result of an administrative investigation, Goodyear Police Chief Jerry Geier said.
"This is not the type of behavior that we expect or tolerate from members of the Goodyear Police Department," Geier said.
Tanning salon owner Tony Gilbert said he was upset by what happened and planned to raise the height of dividing walls.
