CONWAY, AR - A Vilonia Public School teacher is accused of video recording a woman underneath her skirt at a Walmart in Conway.

Police arrested 55-year-old Michael Rush after watching video of Rush following a female shopper around the store. On several occasions throughout the surveillance, according to the police report, Rush was seen attempting to hold a notebook underneath the woman's skirt.

When police and loss-prevention officers took Rush into the Walmart detention room, he said he was following the woman around the store because she was pretty, according to the repot. Officers looked inside his notebook and found an iPod with recording capabilities.

The victim tells police that she noticed Rush was following her around, but did not know exactly what he was doing.

Rush was taken to jail and charged with harassment. His cell phone and iPod were seized as evidence.

THis kind of thing has been goiong on ever since there have been men and women. Now we have 24 hour news services and super fast mass communication and this stuff becomes news because we feed on it. It's terrible when we have a teacher do it,but have we forgotten that there was always an ole uncle or brother , our parents kept us away from! ASk your parents and if they're truthful , they'll spill the beans. No, our schools are not filled with vampires and ghouls ,waiting to sneak away with the souls of our kiddies. But it does pay to keep a look out and if we find a weirdo,contain him/her for a REALLLLLLLLL LOOONG TIMMMMME! Realize that in a country with over 300 million people in it,there has to be a few cracked individuals. Just be aware of that and be prepared!

Just one of many perverts this school district seems to employ(coaches and teachers). As a former student and victim of sexual assault on vilonia highs campus by a teacher( who was found guilty) i find it negligent the district has employed so many sexual predators. Do not become a teacher if you cannot maintain a high level of integrity for yourself and others. Hopeless and scary. Mark my words those brilliant, well orated men are just trying to moleste and victimize your children. I wouldnt be surprised if they found hundreds of images on this mans personal computer. Sad thing is he has daughters. What a sicko.

@Hombre.... You idiot, I was watching the security cam footage on the news of this guy following the women around and putting the notebook down below their skirts from behind.

The same thing happened to me at the Malvern Walmart store. Some guy on his lunch break from work used his cell phone and took a picture under my skirt. Thank God, someone saw him and spoke up! These people are sexual preditors. The laws need to be updated and harsher.

What alot of you fail to recognize. He was CAUGHT in a walmart doing this act of perversion. I have to wonder what he was NOT caught doing at the school he was employed filming of innocent children. These camera phones can be of great help in most case's, but in the hands of a pervert, devastating.

With a charge like harrassment, he will be given probation. Maybe when he does this the next time, the woman will have a gun.

Good God, what is it with this sick pervs??? You can't even go to Walmart w/out worrying that some loser is going to try and assault you, either physically or by doing something like this.
