Last updated on Monday, November 19, 2018

(BLOOMINGTON) - A Bloomington restaurant manager was arrested Friday after a 10-year-old boy reported a man had taken or attempted to take a photograph of him in the men’s restroom of a McDonald’s restaurant on State Road 46 West, between Bloomington and Ellettsville.

According to Monroe County Sheriff Brad Swain, the boy immediately told a family member what happened. He reported that while in the stall, he saw cell phone held over the top of the door, and was likely taking a photo of him.

The boy told his grandmother that a man wearing black shoes held a cellphone with red and white stripes on the case over the wall and took pictures.

Sheriff detectives later examined video from the surveillance system and saw a man talking with another person. A short time later that man entered the restroom with a cell phone in hand. He left the bathroom before the boy. The boy is seen on video talking with his family member about what happened.
