A Madisonville man has been booked with video voyeurism after admitting to photographing the backsides of unsuspecting women while they shopped at the Walmart near Covington.

A St. Tammany Parish deputy working a detail at the store Wednesday spotted Cody Cobble, 18, walking up behind women and taking pictures of their posteriors, Sheriff's Office spokesman Capt. George Bonnett said Monday.
As the deputy approached Cobble, the teen began walking away while trying to disassemble his cell phone, Bonnett said. But the deputy caught up to him and managed to salvage enough of the phone that deputies were later able to pull images from it, he said.
Unlike other recent video voyeurism cases at St. Tammany Parish Walmarts, there is no suspicion of positioning the camera to capture images under women's skirts. He was taking photos of their clothed bottoms, Bonnett said.
When questioned about the photos, Cobble admitted that taking pictures of the women "excited" him, Bonnett said. He said that after taking the photos, he would go to the store's parking lot and view them in his car, he said.
Because the pictures were taken for lewd and lascivious purposes, they fall under the definition of video voyeurism, Bonnett said. Cobble, of 1 Single Pine Lane, was booked into the St. Tammany Parish jail in Covington with that charge.
