Federal agent arrested for taking photos in women's restroom, UW-Madison police say

A federal agent was arrested Tuesday for taking pictures in the women’s restroom of a UW-Madison residence hall, the university’s police department said.

Justin T. Fahy, of Monona, allegedly went into a bathroom at Witte Residence Hall, 615 W. Johnson St., on Friday afternoon, put his cell phone under an occupied stall and took pictures, police said. The 27-year-old Fahy, who identified himself as a special agent for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), told police it was a misunderstanding and that he mistakenly entered the wrong restroom, said UW police spokesman Marc Lovicott.

Ashlee Sherrill, a spokeswoman for the ATF’s St. Paul Field Division, confirmed Fahy is employed at the bureau.

Police obtained a search warrant for Fahy’s phone and reviewed security cameras from inside the residence. Lovicott said police determined he had been in the first-floor restroom for at least 14 minutes.

“In addition, Fahy’s phone had been recently restored to a backup point from earlier this year, leading UWPD investigators to believe he was likely trying to delete evidence,” Lovicott said.

Fahy was taken to the Dane County Jail on a tentative felony charge of attempting to take photos depicting nudity and disorderly conduct, Lovicott said, while he has also been formally banned from the campus.

“Allegations like these cannot and will not be taken lightly,” ATF Acting Special Agent in Charge Kirk Howard said in a statement. “We will make sure that allegations of impropriety are handled appropriately.”

He mistakenly went to the wrong restroom? He meant to take pictures of guys?

He had the woman under surveillance. He had reason to believe she was hiding drugs “up her whatever”.
