A woman told Auburn Police she was using a bathroom stall at Green River College on Oct. 1 when a hand belonging to someone in the next stall reached under the divider – holding a cellphone with its recording function on.

Police later arrested Anthony Lee Smith, a 37-year-old Kent man, for investigation of voyeurism and booked him into the SCORE jail, where he remains on $7,500 bail.

The King County Prosecutor formally charged Smith Monday afternoon. His arraignment is at 9 a.m., Oct. 19 in Courtroom GA at the Norm Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.

Here is what happened, according to the Auburn Police Department’s Certification for Determination of Probable Cause:

At about noon, a woman called 911 to report that five minutes earlier a male had been in the bathroom taking pictures.

Soon after that report, a school security officer notified 911 that he was detaining a man for taking pictures in a women’s restroom, but that the man was not being cooperative.

Auburn Police responded to the school about noon and arrested the man.

According to the report, Smith told detectives he’d entered the bathroom and sat in a stall for about two minutes before taking out his cellphone and reaching under the stall divider – however, he said, he had never hit the record button.

According to the police report, the woman told police she’d seen the screen of the cellphone and noticed its recording function was on.

The woman screamed and confronted Smith.

Officers booked Smith into the SCORE detention center for investigation of voyeurism. Court records say he is on probation for violation of a protection order and had been arrested for other probation violations and for gang tagging.
