Police received a complaint Monday from a woman saying she saw someone film her with a camera or cell phone while she was using the rest room. Police searched for the man but could not find him. Firefighters used a thermal imaging camera to look for him in the ceiling, but he still was not found. He was eventually found on Tuesday in the ceiling near the women's bathroom.

Moreira was arrested Tuesday afternoon and pleaded not guilty Wednesday afternoon.
