Portapotty suspect may have spied in other restrooms
Jun 24th
Boulder police continue to investigate the suspect in the portable toilet spying incident that happened at the Hanuman Yoga Festival on June 17. Luke Irvin Chrisco (DOB 9/12/1980) was arrested during a traffic stop in Vail on June 23 and remains in the custody of Vail Police and is being held on Boulder charges.
During the course of the investigation, Chrisco claimed that he had spied on women in other public restrooms around Boulder. Detectives are in the process of contacting business owners in an attempt to substantiate Chrisco’s statements. In addition, detectives are searching all restrooms in which Chrisco claimed to have spied. Police will notify all Boulder businesses today which have been named by Chrisco.
Detectives have already confirmed that there are “peepholes” in the restrooms of several local businesses. Owners of those businesses are taking appropriate action to seal the holes. At this time, police are not releasing the names of the businesses because detectives are still conducting the investigation and confirming information.
Boulder detectives are working with the District Attorney’s Office and it is anticipated that Chrisco could face additional charges.
The Boulder Police Department will update the public and media early next week, as soon as more information is available which has been confirmed.

Jun 21st
Boulder police are investigating an incident that happened at the Hanuman Yoga Festival on Friday, June 17, near Boulder High School.
A female patron of the festival walked into a portable toilet and told police she noticed that something was moving inside the tank when she lifted the lid. She believed there might be a person inside the toilet. She left the portable toilet and asked a man who was standing nearby to go in and check.
The man told police that when he entered the toilet, he did see someone inside the tank, covered in a tarp. He, too, exited the portable toilet. A few minutes later, he heard the door lock from the inside. A festival security supervisor waited outside for several minutes and then saw a suspect emerge from the portable toilet. The supervisor tried to detain the suspect, but he ran away, covered in feces.
The suspect is described as a:
· White male
· About 20 years old
· Very tall, approximately 6’4” to 6’8”
· Thin build
· Short, dark hair
· Wearing dark gray sweatpants and no shirt or shoes
Witnesses say the suspect had several cuts on his back and legs. The suspect was also wearing leather bracelets on each wrist. At least one witness believes the suspect may use the name “Sky,” and told police that he may be a transient.
