LATHAM, N.Y. (NEWS10) – An Episcopal priest is facing two felony charges after he allegedly used his cell phone to record a woman in a Salvation Army changing room.

Colonie police said they arrested 35-year-old Adam Egan, of Delmar, around 4 p.m. Wednesday. They said the woman and her mother were in the store shopping.

The daughter was trying on clothes when she said she noticed a man peering over the divider between the changing rooms. She said she alerted her mother who then chased the man out of the store.

Police said they caught up to Egan about a mile away, and he deleted the alleged video from his cell phone, according to police.
