Scottsdale Police arrest man accused of groping several women at night
A Ring doorbell video shows a woman walking into her apartment when an alleged Scottsdale groper runs up to her door. Police say he's been arrested but want to know if there are more victims.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Newly released video from Scottsdale Police captures a man who is reportedly stalking and groping several women as they go home to their apartments.
Police say the suspect, Christian Lee Stadler, 26, has since been arrested and investigators want to know if there are any other victims.
Authorities were first alerted to what was happening through a neighborhood app. Then, they say doorbell video caught the suspect in the act.
Weeks leading up to the doorbell video incident, multiple victims came forward, reporting a man had touched them inappropriately as they walked home at night.
"As a result, last night our detectives set up a surveillance detail in an apartment complex near Scottsdale Road and Gold Dust Avenue. Just after midnight, a report of an assault came in matching that description and detectives were able to apprehend an individual that was leaving the apartment complex. He matched the description," said Sgt. Brian Reynolds with Scottsdale Police.
