DES MOINES – An Iowa man is behind bars after cops nabbed him in connection to a number of hidden cameras in portable toilets at a concert and, stunningly, a high school cross country meet.
On September 23, 2025, at approximately 4:47 PM, deputies in Marshall county, Iowa, were dispatched to Lincoln Valley Golf Course in State Center, Iowa, for a report of a concealed camera in a portable toilet that was placed on the property for a scheduled event. During the time of the report, West Marshall Community School District was hosting a sponsored cross country meet on the golf course property that several school districts were participating in. The cross county meet participants included male and female middle and high school students.
State Center Police Department was supervising this event when a group of event participants alerted them to what they believed was a concealed camera. The device was removed and turned over to law enforcement.
School officials were notified immediately; interviews of potential witnesses were conducted along with securing potential surveillance video that may have captured evidence of the person or persons involved.
With the volume of participants, attendees and vehicles arriving and leaving the event, investigators began sorting through evidence and developed a partial image of a person and vehicle of interest. This information was distributed through Iowa Law Enforcement Intelligence Network Fusion Center for reports of similar crimes or potential identification of the person and/or vehicle. Additionally, the camera and digital evidence was submitted to Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation Cyber Crime Unit for forensic examination.
On October 6, 2025, Marshall County Sheriff’s Office Investigators were informed by Des Moines Police Department Detectives they had received and were investigating a similar incident detectives believed were committed by the same suspect.
On October 14, 2025, Des Moines Police Department and Marshall County Sheriff’s Office received results from digital evidence that identified a suspect in both Marshall County and Des Moines investigations.
This person was identified as 32-year-old Tyler Pavlick of Des Moines, Iowa. On October 15, search warrants were executed at an apartment complex in Des Moines, Iowa. Tyler Pavlick was taken into custody without incident and is being held in the Polk County Jail on Sexual Exploitation of a Minor and Invasion of Privacy criminal charges filed in Polk County. A detainer has been placed on Tyler Pavlick as additional arrest warrants will be issued out of Marshall County for multiple counts of Sexual Exploitation of a Minor, class B felony and Invasion of Privacy, aggrivated misdeameanor.
This incident remains under investigation by the Marshall County Sheriff’s Office and anticipates additional criminal charges as victims are identified.
