Stonington Police Arrest Man for Filming Employees in Pizza Shop Bathroom
Stonington, Conn. (WJAR) — Michael Arruda, 46, has been arrested for allegedly filming employees at the Pizza Lady in Pawcatuck without their knowledge. The arrest occurred on April 16, and Arruda faces 12 counts of voyeurism with malice. Reports indicate he placed his phone in the bathroom, capturing footage of nine different women over a three-year span, from March 2021 to September 2024.

Arruda appeared in New London court, where he was released on a $50,000 bond. He is scheduled to return to court on June 4. The police are urging anyone who may have additional information to come forward, as the investigation continues to develop. This case highlights ongoing issues related to personal privacy and safety in public spaces, prompting discussions about the need for heightened vigilance in the community.
