Man arrested for mall voyeurism

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WISH) - A Fort Wayne man was arrested at Castleton Square Mall for voyeurism Saturday afternoon.

40 year-old David Delagrange of Fort Wayne is in the Marion County jail facing numerous charges, including child exploitation.

Investigators said Delagrange was caught video taping women inside Castleton Square Mall.

"It's an invasion of privacy is what this is," said IMPD Sgt. Matt Mount.

Police said Delagrange had a very sophisticated camera and audio recording system attached to his right shoe. Investigators said he would approach women in dresses and get very close to them, placing his right foot under their dresses. Police said Delagrange even had controls of the camera from his pockets.

"This is something that was designed specifically to invade somebody's privacy and to assault their dignity," Sgt. Mount said.

Police caught Delagrange after a concerned shopper noticed him getting close to women. A part time officer working inside the mall noticed Delagragne's suspicious activity and confronted him, but police say he resisted nearly striking the officer.

"The officer then used a tazer to gain control of this individual and now he's placing him under arrest for resisting and trying to strike a police officer," said Sgt. Mount.

Police are not sure how many women were Delagrange victims. Investigators said at least one of them is believed to be a juvenile.

Police said they found storage devices in Delagrange's home and car. He's facing charges of voyeurism, resisting law enforcement and child exploitation.
