A Rohnert Park man suspected of spying on female coworkers using the bathroom at a Petaluma grocery store was arrested on invasion of privacy charges Sunday afternoon.

Petaluma police were notified around 3:45 p.m. after a Whole Foods employee discovered a hidden cellphone actively capturing video in the employee restroom, Petaluma Cpl. Ryan Suhrke said in a statement.

The phone was hidden on a storage shelf with the camera lens pointed toward the toilet. During the investigation, Kendall Hansen-Keys, 26, who was working at the time, was interviewed and he allegedly admitted to positioning the phone to videotape an employee he was interested in, Suhrke said in the statement.

Authorities searched the device and found videos of two female coworkers, police said.

Hansen-Keys was booked into Sonoma County Jail on Sunday, but it was unclear Monday if he remained in custody.
