Windward Chick-fil-A Employee Arrested For Upskirt Photos: Police

MILTON, GA — Milton Police have arrested a man from Alpharetta after he was caught taking photos up the skirts of customers at the Windward Parkway Chick-fil-A where he used to work.

Tyler Joshua Richins was arrested April 23 for a felony charge of use or installation of device to film underneath or through an individual's clothing on April 18, according to records from the Fulton County Sheriff's Office.

A witness told Milton police they saw Richins pretend to drop napkins on the floor as an excuse to take his phone out underneath a customer’s skirt, Channel 2 Action News reported.

“The employee was up near the front counter while the victim was waiting to get her order,” Milton Police Capt. Charles Barstow said to the AJC. “He bent down to pick up what looked like some paper napkins, and then (the witness) observed him take his phone and slide it underneath the woman’s skirt.”

The AJC said the witness told the woman what happened, so confronted Richins, Channel 2 reported.

"I think it's excellent that we have people like that in our community, who are not only aware of what's going on, and seeing things that look suspicious, but willing to stand up and talk to the police and give us the information we need to prosecute these cases," Barstow told Channel 2.

Georgia banned "upskirting" in 2017, the paper reported.

“The safety of guests is our top priority, and we take this incident very seriously," the Windward Chick-fil-A franchise owner said in a release to media outlets. "Upon hearing of the situation, we immediately investigated. The individual at issue is no longer employed at my restaurant.”
