Pines man films woman in Macy’s dressing room after voyeurism case dropped: cops
A Pembroke Pines man was jailed again on a voyeurism charge four months after he was accused of filming a woman in another department store dressing room, according to the Plantation Police Department.
The latest charge comes weeks after prosecutors declined to pursue charges against him from the December incident at Kohl’s, Broward court records show.
In the latest incident, officers responded to the Macy’s at Broward Mall on April 9 after being tipped off that an unknown man — later identified as 27-year-old Derrick Jordan Wright Jr. — “was reportedly recording a female victim in a dressing room,” reads his arrest report.
Investigators identified Wright from the department’s store surveillance footage.
Per police, the woman caught the 27-year-old “recording her over the dressing room partition” with his phone at around 4:40 p.m on April 9.
She attempted to confront Wright for videoing her, but he denied her claims and left Macy’s shortly after, details the arrest report.
The woman — who’s pressing charges against the Pembroke Pines man — identified Wright as the suspect in a photo lineup the next day, leading police to seek a probable cuase warrant against him, records show.
He was arrested April 22 shortly after 7 p.m. as he was exiting Broward Mall’s JCPenney following a tip from Macy’s staff that he was in the shopping center.
Wright was first jailed on similar charges in December after Plantation police said he filmed a woman in a Kohl’s dressing room at The Fountains.
Officers say Wright was following the woman around Kohl’s, approached her and “turned his phone screen towards her and showed her a video of her topless in the fitting room,” according to his Dec. 18 arrest report.
He fled the store once she began screaming at him, but police later found and arrested him while he was exiting I-75 in Pembroke Pines.
Prosecutors filed “no information” on March 11, indicating they’re dropping the case.
Wright was booked in Broward Main Jail on April 22, but no longer appears in the county’s jail records. He faces a felony charge of digital voyeurism committed by someone 19 years of age or older.
