The charges stem from an incident on Aug. 19 at the Chipotle in Grove City.

Bishop was allegedly seen taking a photo down a young girl’s shirt while standing behind her in line, according to an affidavit filed in Franklin County Municipal Court.

He’s also accused of taking a photo up another woman’s shorts, WBNS-10 TV reported.

The girl’s mother confronted Bishop inside the restaurant with help from a Chipotle employee.

Both the mother and the employee saw the images on Bishop’s phone and made him delete them before he left, according to the affidavit. Another witness wrote down his license plate and called the police.

The next day, detectives served a search warrant at Bishop’s home. They said he had just returned from another Chipotle and was wearing the same clothes caught on Chipotle’s surveillance from the day before, WBNS-10 TV reported.

A search of his phone allegedly revealed images of women’s feet, and Bishop reportedly told the detectives he had a “foot fetish.”

The affidavit also says, “a quick view of the images showed he was again taking photographs of females at the Chipotle he was just at.”

Investigators also discovered 26 images of girls who were unclothed or engaged in sexual activity, WBNS-10 TV reported.

Bishop eventually admitted to taking inappropriate photos on Aug. 19 at Chipotle, stating he didn’t touch anyone or make any advances.

Bishop’s phone was taken to the police department, where authorities found an image of the woman from Aug. 19 still on his phone, WBNS-10 TV reported.

Bishop was arrested on Monday, Aug. 25.
