JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — An 18-year-old is facing a video voyeurism charge after a video went viral showing customers in a St. Johns Town Center Marshalls store confronting a man they said was recording women in the restroom.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office jail records show Titus Hugh McDonell, 18, was arrested on Wednesday night and remains in custody Saturday evening on a $35,003 bail.
The arrest comes after an incident on March 12 in which two women told police they saw a man recording customers inside the women's restroom at the Marshalls store on River Marsh Drive.
Video of the women confronting the man quickly spread across platforms including TikTok and Instagram.
The video included an image taken inside one of the bathroom stalls, showing a phone propped up between a man's shoes.
The man involved was described as tall with longer, straight hair and wearing glasses, according to police.
In the video, women are seen following the man through the store, calling for him to delete the recording of them and saying that he was "not supposed to be in that bathroom." The man was seen covering his face with his arm as he walked through the store as one woman followed him.
"You violated our *expletive* privacy," one woman shouted in the video. "You are so *expletive* sick for that."
The viral post said customers tried to keep the man from leaving before police arrived, but he ran.
A JSO incident report stated, "Several officers searched the area and concluded with negative results."
On March 20, JSO posted an image of the man on its "Wanted Wednesday" with the title "Video Voyeurism." The post said the man was wanted for a felony, though McDonell's charge is a misdemeanor, according to jail records.
Court records show a public defender was appointed to McDonell on Thursday following his arrest.
His next court appearance is scheduled for May 15 at 9 a.m.
First Coast News has requested McDonell's arrest report.
