OVIEDO, Fla. – A 21-year-old Oviedo man is facing misdemeanor charges after he secretly recorded a mother and her two daughters inside a Walmart, the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office said.
Dylan Kyle Ouellette was arrested on Sunday at the Walmart located on Deep Lake Road.
According to the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office arrest report, a deputy responded to the store around 12:30 p.m. after dispatch received multiple calls about a disturbance involving two men.
On arrival, the deputy made contact with a man, who said Ouellette had been following his wife and two daughters through the store and recording them on his phone with the camera pointed below waist level. The man confronted Ouellette after his wife alerted him to what was happening, the report states.
After Ouellette was put in handcuffs and asked why he was in the store, he told the deputy he had gone in for fishing gear, but saw the mother and daughters and “thought they were cute” and began recording them, deputies said.
When asked if he believed his actions were inappropriate, Ouellette agreed. He also stated he had never done anything like this before. However, investigators found multiple recordings of different families on Ouellette’s phone. The device was confiscated for investigative purposes, the report states.
Ouellette faces charges of loitering and prowling in an unusual manner and breach of the peace.
