According to a Fort Mill Police report, 18-year-old Alexander Harold Mayer was arrested on Friday and charged with Voyeurism.

Officers were called to Fort Mill High School on Thursday at 12:05 p.m. after being notified that Mayer had come into the girls' restroom at the school.

Detectives interviewed Mayer, who admitted to officers that he had done it. He was arrested and later released on a $5,000 bond.

This charge is a Circuit Court level misdemeanor and carries a maximum penalty of a $500 fine, or up to three years in prison.

Faux cop attempts to pull teen driver, foiled by real deputy

FORT MILL - A driver who was impersonating a police officer attempted to pull over a teen driver, only to be foiled by a real deputy.

According to a York County Sheriff's report, a 16-year-old boy was driving along Highway 21 near Carowinds last Tuesday when a vehicle turned onto the road behind him. That's when the teen says the driver "activated a red and blue LED bar light" in the grill of their car.

The teen pulled off of the Highway near Regent Park.

According to the report, a York County sheriff's deputy was in the area for an unrelated traffic stop. When the driver saw the deputy, they "immediately turned off [the] light bar" and made a u-turn back onto Highway 21, the report states.

Deputies say the teen then followed the faux cop and saw the vehicle turn into Twin Lakes Mobile Home Park.

The vehicle was listed as a small, sports car type-vehicle, but the teen didn't get close enough to make out the exact make and model.
