Lupe Tortilla Worker in Bathroom Camera Case Hit With Second Felony Over Alleged Stolen Social Security Number

He remains jailed on a $100,000 bond in the bathroom recording case under an immigration hold.

Overview

  • Detectives filed a charge of fraudulent use of identifying information after determining the Social Security number he used belongs to a 66-year-old man in Las Vegas who told police he did not authorize its use.
  • The 31-year-old, identified as Bayson Elias Pu, had already been charged with invasive visual recording for an alleged hidden camera in a restroom at the Lupe Tortilla at 9313 Katy Freeway.
  • Court records say two recovered videos from the device show a female child and an adult woman using the bathroom.
  • Police and court records indicate he was arrested on Dec. 31, was later rearrested, and remains in Harris County Jail with an immigration detainer in place.
  • Officials say a new bond hearing is expected following the added count, and they noted discussions about possibly upgrading the identity charge to tampering with a government document as the investigation continues.
