A federal air marshal has been accused of betraying the very people he was paid to protect.
A witness caught 28-year-old Adam Bartsch aiming a cell phone camera underneath women’s skirts as they were climbing onto a plane at Nashville International Airport on Thursday.
The witness grabbed Bartsch’s phone and alerted a flight attendant. The government employee was on official duty at the time and was scheduled to board a Southwest Airline Flight 3132 to Tampa.
Airport police officers removed Bartsch from the flight and took him into custody.
The man said he snapped 10 to 12 photos that day and confessed to taking other inappropriate photos in the past.
He has been charged with disorderly conduct and is being held on $10,000 bail.
The Transportation Security Administration confirmed that Bartsch will likely lose his job.
“TSA does not tolerate criminal behavior. The agency immediately removed this individual from his current duties and is in the process of suspending or terminating his employment,” the TSA said in a statement to CNN.
