MOULTRIE, Ga. (WALB) — A second person has been arrested in connection with the investigation into unauthorized cameras found at Withers Auditorium.

According to the Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office, the second person arrested is Kelvin Mills. Information about Mills’ charges has not yet been released.

The arrest comes after 53-year-old Joshua Briones of Moultrie was previously arrested and charged with sexual battery and unlawful and illegal eavesdropping and surveillance. The sheriff’s office said Briones’ sexual battery charge does not involve a minor and appears to be separate from the camera investigation.

Both mugshots have not yet been made available.

Superintendent gives new update to families

Colquitt County School District Superintendent Dan Chappuis sent a new message to families Thursday, confirming that two people have now been arrested and face multiple charges.

Chappuis said the sheriff’s office investigation remains ongoing and cautioned families it could take weeks to answer some of the biggest questions surrounding the cameras.

The superintendent also provided new information about how the cameras were initially discovered. According to Chappuis, an adult reported a concerning interaction with a vendor. The district followed up on that report and discovered the unauthorized cameras near the stage at Withers Auditorium.

The district then changed the locks, disabled network access, and contacted the sheriff’s office.

Chappuis said a team brought in by the sheriff’s office later swept the building and did not find cameras inside bathrooms or dressing rooms. The cameras discovered were in areas around the stage. The sheriff’s office previously reported that cameras were found in close proximity to bathrooms or dressing rooms.

District still does not know who may have been recorded

The district says investigators are still working to determine what was recorded and who may have been affected. If investigators determine families need to be notified, Chappuis said the district will work with the sheriff’s office and district attorney.

The superintendent also said the cameras were not directly connected to the school district’s network and, based on what the district currently knows, no district employee had access to the cameras or what they were filming.

The district is also reviewing its records to determine whether the people involved may have had access to other district facilities through work performed by the company. Chappuis said their primary access was to Withers Auditorium and that any other identified locations will also be inspected.

District changing vendor security procedures

Because of the discovery, Chappuis said the district is changing how vendors are screened. Going forward, every vendor working inside district schools will be required to either undergo a background check or provide proof that one has already been completed by their employer.

The district is also reviewing previous contracts, vendor access, and how work performed inside its facilities is inspected.

The investigation remains ongoing.
