A Riverside transient who was convicted in December of illegally filming people in a bathroom was arrested again by Riverside police on Wednesday, Aug. 2, on suspicion of committing the same crime.
Security guards at Kaiser Permanente detained Sergio Eduardo Quezada, 27, after someone reported him hiding in a women’s bathroom at the sprawling facility on Magnolia Avenue and recording women, police said.
Police arrived and arrested him.
“He had a drug pipe in his possession and, yes, officers found evidence on his phone implicating him in the very illegal recordings,” police said in a statement.
Kaiser spokesman Terry Kanakri, in an email, declined to say in which building the incident took place.
“We are deeply committed to maintaining a safe, secure and respectful environment for our members, patients, employees, physicians, and anyone who visits our facilities,” the spokesman said. “We continually review our practices and thoroughly investigate incidents to learn and strengthen our practices wherever possible.”
Quezada was under county supervision after being released from state prison.
In December, he pleaded guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct. Officer Ryan Railsback, a Riverside police spokesman, said Quezada was caught filming women in a bathroom in the science building at California Baptist University. Quezada was sentenced to six months in jail in that case, Superior Court records show.
That same day, Dec. 20, he was convicted of loitering in a different case. Other charges, including illegal filming in a private area, were dismissed.
On April 18, a warrant was issued for Quezada’s arrest after he failed to show for a court date following his arrest on suspicion of being under the influence of a controlled substance.
Quezada also has convictions for burglary, receiving stolen property and various drug offenses, court records show. He was in custody without the option of bailing out.
