Women reported three separate incidents — on Aug. 10 and 24 and again on Sept. 6.

In the first, a woman told police that 38-year-old Charles Thomas of Paterson followed her into a bathroom as she went in to rinse out a coffee cup.

She said she screamed and he ran out the door, got into a Pontiac Bonneville and drove off.

In the last two, however, the women told police that Thomas peeked over the top of a neighboring stall while they were on the toilet, Detective Capt. Thomas Salcedo told CLIFFVIEW PILOT this afternoon.

Security officers at FDU spotted the car and got a license plate number, which they relayed to city police, Salcedo said.

“From there, it was just a simple computer check,” he said.

Thomas, who was being processed at Hackensack Police headquarters this afternoon, was charged with three counts of burglary and two counts of invasion of privacy (for the stall incidents).
