Michelle Chandler, a mother of five from Lakewood, found herself in a harrowing situation last Saturday when she bravely confronted and subdued a peeping Tom who invaded her privacy at a Nordstrom fitting room.
The incident took place in the dressing room area of the store, which is used by both men and women.
It was here that Chandler noticed something amiss—a hand and a cell phone surreptitiously positioned underneath the partition, seemingly recording her as she changed clothes.
“As I went to take these pants off, I bent down, looked over and I saw men’s shoes, socks and his phone pointing right at me,” Chandler told FOX31.
The shock of discovering this invasion of her privacy did not paralyze Chandler; instead, it spurred her into immediate action.
Rather than waiting for mall security or police authorities to respond, she decided to take matters into her own hands to prevent the perpetrator from escaping justice.
With swift determination, she managed to subdue the suspect by pinning him to the ground.
Assisted by store associates who rushed to her aid, Chandler held the young man down firmly.
At one point during the confrontation, she even utilized her knee to keep him restrained while a belt was looped around him to prevent any further movement.

RE: Governor Noem, Only do gooders who have never lived or worked on a ranch or farm would hold this against someone for putting an animal down. You all would rather take the critter to the vet and pay many dollars for them to put it down. Why—no stomach for it??? It hurts some each time it is necessary but it is what it is—–part of keeping animals so get over it.
Too bad she didn’t put him in a front headlock. She could have blacked him out and then painted his face up with all kinds of girly make up.
God Bless her, we need women of courage and conviction. Men need to STAY OUT OF WOMEN’s spaces and sports!
It’s insane to think otherwise. God made them male and female, and that’s the way it will ALWAYS be!
The pervert got beat up by a girl. Good for her.
