A Grove City man is facing criminal charges after police said he took photos of women at Chipotle and had child pornography on his phone.
Grove City Police received a call from a woman who said a man had taken photos of her and a girl at the Chipotle at 1671 Stringtown Road on Aug. 19, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in the Franklin County Municipal Court.
The woman said the man, who police identified as 53-year-old Dustin Bishop, took a picture from under her shorts while they were standing in line at Chipotle. Bishop also took photos down the shirt of a girl who was in line with her mother, a Grove City detective said in the affidavit.
The girl’s mother confronted Bishop with a Chipotle employee and made him delete the images before he left the store, according to the affidavit.
Detectives spoke to Bishop at his home the next day, and he initially denied taking the photos, according to the affidavit. When he agreed to let the detectives look at his phone, they found photos of girls’ and women’s feet, the detective wrote.
Bishop apologized for taking the photos and admitted he had a “foot fetish,” according to the affidavit.
Police obtained a search warrant and conducted an extraction of the phone with Cellebrite, which can sometimes recover deleted photos. Investigators did not find photos taken down the girl’s shirt or up the woman’s shorts, but they did find 26 photos of prepubescent girls who were naked or engaging in sexual activity, according to the affidavit.
Grove City police previously received two complaints in 2023 that Bishop was taking photos of women or girls at a Kroger, according to the affidavit.
Bishop was charged with voyeurism, a first-degree misdemeanor, and pandering sexually oriented matter involving a minor, a fourth-degree felony.
His bond was set at $125,000 at an Aug. 26 hearing, and as of the next morning, he remained imprisoned in the Franklin County Jail.
