The male subject has been seen pacing near women’s restrooms and he appears to be talking on a cell phone. The man waits until a woman enters the restroom and then he walks in behind her, according to the email.

The man was reported to have made an excuse when confronted. At least one female subject reported that she saw the man on his hands and knees in a campus restroom, said spokesman Seth Bauguess.
