A man has been arrested after allegedly taking photos of an underaged girl from underneath a bathroom stall at a Naples mall.

On Friday, just after 3 p.m., a Naples police officer responded to an incident happening in one of the women’s restrooms at the Coastland Center Mall.

According to the Naples Police Department, a minor witnessed 22-year-old David Sanabria taking photos of her from underneath a bathroom stall next to hers.

Sanabria was arrested without incident after he left the women’s restroom.

WINK News reporter Asha Patel spoke with LT. Bryan McGinn, the Public Information Officer for the NPD, told us police are always in the mall, so report something if you see it!

“She noticed that from the stall next to her there was a cell phone with a camera pointed in her direction while she was trying to utilize the restroom, and she felt as though the individual was taking photos or trying to take video or something along those lines,” explained McGinn. “Luckily, she reported that again, courageously, and we were able to act pretty immediately on it.”

According to public records, Sanabria is on supervised inmate release status from the Florida Department of Corrections for a previous conviction for fleeing and eluding police.

Sanabria was transported to the Naples Jail Center.

He’s been charged with video voyeurism and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription.
