An Episcopal priest from Bethlehem was arrested and jailed without bail for allegedly videotaping a woman who was getting dressed in the Salvation Army on Troy-Schenectady Road, according to police.

Adam Egan, 35, was charged with unlawful surveillance and tampering with evidence, both felonies, following the incident at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to Colonie Detective Sgt. Michael Franze.

He confirmed Egan is pastor at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Bethlehem.

Egan attempted to flee the Salvation Army building after the victim noticed a camera peeking over the top of a curtain and contacted police, Franze said. Police apprehended him nearby and an electronic device.

Egan also is accused of attempting to delete a video. He was arraigned in Colonie Justice Court and taken to Albany County Correctional Facility pending a preliminary court hearing scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, police said.
