Mall Officer arrests Dawit taking pictures of Cheerleaders

Wow can't imagine why this guy raised and suspicions. He looks like a regular fan of the Mike O'meara Show.


A plain-clothed officer at Springfield Mall observed a man taking photographs with his cell phone in the Springfest Food Court on Tuesday, September 2 around 3:30 p.m. The suspect followed two girls in cheerleading uniforms and approached them from behind, allegedly taking photographs under the skirt of a 17-year-old Springfield girl.

The girls noticed the suspect and yelled at him as he quickly walked away and left the building.

Working jointly with mall security officers, police identified Dawit Abebe, 40 of 6038 Richmond Highway, Alexandria. Police arrested Abebe on Wednesday, September 3 around 3 p.m. and charged him with unlawfully photographing a person under 18 years old, a class six felony.

Springfield Mall management recently provided the Fairfax County Police Department with a storefront space in the mall. Formerly a café, the new space will house officers during mall hours. Officers have been assigned to Springfield Mall since 1996, as well as other shopping centers across Fairfax County, since the 1980’s.

This guy is turning into the next window tinting topic. Pay attention, Jester, this already has its own thread.

Wait, It's a felony to take a photo of someone under 18? So if I'm taking a photo of my friend in a public space and someone who is under 18 walks by in the background, then I might get charged with a felony? WTF

I just got pulled over for having my windows tinted. How does the officer determine if the tint is to dark? But I thought somebody told me different?

LMAO!

Don't worry, the county will probably hire him if he needs a job after he gets out of jail.
