Tihron Harrison: Oklahoma peeping Tom arrested after filming woman and assaulting her mom at Marshalls' restroom
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK: A 21-year-old man, identified as Tihron Harrison, got arrested after he allegedly went into the women's restroom at a Marshall's retail store on February 22, and filmed a woman using the bathroom. The man was taken into custody on complaints of peeping Tom and assault and battery.
According to court documents, as stated by KTUL, the incident took place when a woman went into the restroom and found a phone being held from the stall beside her with the camera filming her after she dropped toilet paper on the floor and went to pick it up. She quickly confronted Harrison who then removed his phone. Following this, the woman narrated the incident to her mother, and they waited outside the restroom for 15 minutes until Harrison came out, reports Fox News. However, this led to a physical fight where Harrison allegedly picked up a "heavy pot with a lid on it" and threw it at the mother hitting her in the upper torso before he fled from the store in a black sedan.
