A suspect tied to a trespassing and "peeping" incident at a San Jose middle school is in police custody and facing sex crime charges, police said.
The incident was reported Monday at Bret Harte Middle School. Police identified the suspect Friday as 41-year-old San Jose resident Trevis Street.
Street went onto school property and entered the women's locker room while female minors were inside, police said. He had a mobile device and used it to record inside the locker room before he was confronted by onsite staff and fled from the property.
"We're glad that the suspect is found," parent Tami Sell said.
Sell added she is gratified the way police, the school district, and neighbors responded to the incident.
"Very thankful to the neighbors in the community who shared their surveillance camera footage to help the police in their investigation," Sell said.
The San Jose Unified School District has scheduled a community meeting on Friday to discuss the incident and further security measures.
