On Wednesday, April 15th, 2015 at 3:10 p.m. the Pinal County Sheriff’s 9-1-1 Communications Center received a call from an employee working as Asset Protection for the Walmart located at 1725 West Hunt Highway, San Tan Valley. The employee was reporting that a male subject was seen inside of the store following women around and at one point, got onto his hands and knees and was seen on surveillance tape looking up a female’s skirt.
Deputies responded but the suspect had left the store before they arrived. Walmart employees were able to obtain the vehicle description and license plate. Deputies later checked the home of the registered owner but were unable to locate the vehicle or suspect.
The victim was found by deputies still inside of the Walmart and she had no idea who the suspect was and she wanted to prosecute for Voyeurism.
The suspect description and his vehicle information was broadcast to deputies.
On Thursday, April 16th, 2015 deputies were working speed enforcement on Ironwood Road because of numerous complaints.
Deputies stopped a vehicle for speeding which matched the description of the suspect vehicle from Walmart. The driver was not the same suspect as photographed in the Walmart surveillance video.
The driver identified the suspect as his roommate Jean St. Sauveur. The driver and Jean live at the residence with Jean’s wife.
Sheriff Paul Babeu said, “Suspect Jean St.Sauveur was located at his residence in San Tan Valley and questioned by our detectives. He admitted to the crimes and made a full confession. We arrested and booked him into Jail for one count of Voyeurism which is a felony offense. He thought he could violate unknown women by looking up their skirts and we don’t believe this was the first time he has committed this crime. Jean has worked at the Fry’s on West Combs Road in San Tan Valley for the past 11 years. If any women feel they recognize Jean and may have also been a victim they are encouraged to contact our office.”
