SALT LAKE CITY — After a camera was discovered in a tanning room at a VASA gym in Kaysville, investigators worked to figure out how. On Thursday, an arrest was made in the case and the identity of the suspect was finally revealed.

The man was identified by Kaysville police as Kevin Petersen, 68. He was arrested and booked into Davis County Jail on 33 counts of voyeurism, police said.

The camera was located at the VASA gym on Dec. 11, so Petersen’s arrest came weeks later.
