ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — An Albuquerque man is accused of filming people inside the restroom of a local Walmart. It happened at a store off Coors near Interstate 40.
According to police, the man went to Walmart on October 19th and went straight to the restroom. He was there for over an hour until he realized that the clerk was being recorded while using one of the stalls.
The 17-year-old employee told police he looked up and saw the phone call being recorded.
The employee confronted the man and even recorded him on his cell phone, but the man left in the Walmart parking lot, according to court documents.
Albuquerque police used snippets of that video to track down the suspect. Police uploaded the video to AI software and created a list of potential matches. Only one person in the game lived in Albuquerque, 48-year-old Malcolm Alonzo.
According to Walmart surveillance video, Alonzo was in the bathroom from 6:44 p.m. until he was confronted at 7:55 p.m. that night. Police say 29 people and one child went into the bathroom during that time.
Alonzo is in jail on charges of voyeurism. Prosecutors filed a motion Monday to keep him locked up ahead of trial. He is scheduled for a pretrial detention hearing on Tuesday.
