City Man Caught Taking Photos Under Women's Skirts

A Stamford man was arrested on Wednesday after police officers caught him using his phone to take pictures underneath a woman's skirt at Dunkin' Donuts on Prospect Street, according to Sgt. Bill Hnatuk.

A restaurant manager contacted the two weeks ago after witnessing Jeisson Mendez-Pulido, 33, of 132 Fourth Street, Stamford, allegedly taking photos of women with his phone on more than one occasion, Hnatuk said.

On Wednesday, when Mendez-Pulido returned once more, a manager called the department and officers were sent to the restaurant. When they arrived, the officers said they witnessed Mendez-Pulido following a woman into the restaurant. Police said he stood close behind the woman, took out his phone and snapped a photo underneath her skirt. Officers immediately took him into custody.

Officers seized evidence from Mendez-Pulido's car that included a computer and numerous small cameras. He was charged with voyeurism and illegally obstructing free passage. His bond was set at $50,000 and he is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 29.

Hnatuk encourages anyone that suspects they might have been a victim of Mendez-Pulido's alleged voyeurism to contact the department.
