ARIZONA
Arizona Republic

A minister at Grace Fellowship Church in Buckeye was held on suspicion of voyeurism and unlawful recording after a mother demanded the cellphone from a man bending down in front of her daughter’s changing room at a local store, according to court documents.

The mother said she observed a man holding a cellphone under the door of a changing room her daughter was using at a store near Watson and Yuma roads. She confronted the man, asking him to give her his phone. The woman saw video footage of the girl on the phone, according to court documents.

A Buckeye police officer took possession of the phone after he was called to the store about 10:45 a.m. Saturday, documents said.

Christopher David Santos, 31, admitted to officers that he activated the recording feature and put his cellphone under the changing room door and planned to view the footage for his sexual stimulation, according to court documents.
