SLEEPY HOLLOW, N.Y. – A Sleepy Hollow man has been arraigned on 14 felonies after police say he used a cell phone to take photos underneath women's skirts at the Target store in White Plains.
Jose Piedra, 48, has been charged with 14 counts of second-degree unlawful surveillance “relating to the illegal photographing of a person's intimate parts for his own sexual purposes,” the Westchester District Attorney' Office said Wednesday.
Target security saw Piedra at the City Center store in August using his cell phone to take photos underneath skirts, the district attorney's office said. White Plains police viewed the store's surveillance video, canvassed the store and found Piedra.
The district attorney's office said that several video clips were found on Piedra's phone after a search warrant was issued.
Piedra will appear in County Court on May 8. He faces a maximum of 4 years in state prison for each count.

Sleepy Hollow Police discriminating against Spanish residents
I happen to know this person. He is not what the DA or media projected him to be and the story is twisted. This person has been a target of discrimination attacks by the policy because of his Hispanic heritage.
Jose Luis Piedra was testing a bike (kid’s motored bike) with his son by his street address. The cops followed him and harassed him to his apartment. A police officer hit Jose and hand cuffed him. While hand cuffed, the cop pushed Jose and fell down the stairs. Jose blacked out and his son tried to assist him. Jose was taken to the hospital. Jose got released from the hospital, and the cops took him to jail. His son was also arrested and both charged with felony charges.
Now the cops, the same one who arrested him once—by the way with false claims of intoxication, is claiming that Jose resisted arrest and had assaulted a police officer, and some other charges. The officer is lying in claiming that he got injured because of Jose. The officer is heavy in size.
Jose and his son claim that they are both being discriminated and targeted. The entire family, his wife, son, and daughter, are very devastated about the Sleepy Hollow town, with cops chasing Spanish people around.
Jose is a welder and can hardly support his family
