PHOENIX — A 27-year-old man was arrested Monday on suspicion of surreptitiously recording videos of women in a Valley bathroom stall, according to the Phoenix Police Department. 

Matthew Charles Nordquist, who is listed as a resident of Minnesota, was taken into custody after a woman's husband confronted him about allegedly recording videos of her in a public bathroom. 

The incident happened at a facility near the South Mountain Park and Preserve in south Phoenix.

According to court records, the woman noticed a cell phone pointing at her from underneath the dividing wall of the bathroom stalls. She alerted her husband and he asked Nordquist to exit the bathroom stall.
