Delagrange probable cause affidavit

The following is the probable cause affidavit filed in Marion County, Indiana in connection with the arrest of David Delagrange:

On 2-27-10 Melissa Sagovac, a manger at Vanity clothing store, noticed a w/m later id’d as David Delagrange DOB 7-9-69 following one of her employees, KV w/f/17. She stated that she noticed that he was acting weird and getting real close to her. This happened multiple times and it made Ms. V very uncomfortable. Ms. Sagovac called the off duty IMPD officer working at Castleton square mall and Officer Brian Silcox responded. Upon his arrival Mr. Delagrange had all ready left the store but Ms. Sagovac gave Offc Silcox a very detailed description. Officer Silcox was able to see Mr. Delagrange inside the Forever 21 store. He went and got Ms. Sagovac and brought her to the store window and she immediately stated that the person inside the store was the man that was following her employees. As officer Silcox approached him he noticed that Mr. Delagrange’s right foot was in between a female’s leg as she had her back to him. Officer Silcox, who was in full uniform, asked Mr. Delagrange what he was doing and he turned around visibly startled and started to walk away briskly. Officer Silcox grabbed Mr. Delagrange by the arm and told him to stop. Mr. Delagrange forcibly pulled his arm away from officer Silcox and took a defensive stance posturing like he was going to fight Officer Silcox. Once again officer Silcox grabbed his arm and told him to place it behind his back. Mr. Delagrange once again pulled away, officer Silcox pulled out his taser and tased Mr. Delagrange twice. Mr. Delagrange was placed under arrest and sat in the hallway of the mall. While sitting there Officer Silcox saw a sophisticated camera system that was attached to Mr. Delagranges right boot. When I arrived on scene I talked to Ms. V who stated that Mr. Delagrange was following her around the Vanity store and getting uncomfortably close to her from behind. I was then given video from the Vanity store that showed Mr. Delagrange following her around the store. Detective Kurt Spivey arrived on scene and assisted me in writing search warrants for Mr. Delagrange’s home in Ft. Wayne and his car that was towed to a secure site. Det. Spivey and I went to Ft. Wayne and executed the signed search warrant on his residence.

On 2-28-10 I went back to Castleton square mall after getting a call from Von Maur stating that they had an employee who was photographed unbeknown to her. They stated that they had CCTV video of Mr. Delagrange walking up behind Joy Corpuz and sliding his right foot under her dress. I talked to Ms. Corpuz and she stated that she was working in the cosmetic section on 2-27 and was told by another employee that “this creepy white guy was standing behind her smelling her hair.” Ms. Corpuz told me that she noticed Mr. Delagrange come in but did not know that he was standing behind her or putting his foot between her legs.

I served a signed search warrant on Mr. Delagrange’s car and confiscated numerous items.
On 3-2 Detective Matt Shores from the Cyber Crimes unit picked up all the evidence from the property room

and analyzed it. He was able to provide me with a video of everything that was on Mr. Delagrange’s camera.

On 3-2 I met with TG w/f/17 and CB w/f/17 who told me that they were at Castleton square mall on 2-27 and were followed by Mr. Delagrange. They both stated that they were inside Forever 21 when he first approached Ms. G who was wearing a jean skirt with safety pins in it. Ms. G stated that he got uncomfortably close to her on several occasions. She stated that at least two times he came up from behind her getting less than a foot away. Ms. B stated the same thing, that Mr. Delagrange was also following her around and getting less than a foot away from her. She stated that she was wearing a jean skirt with a design on the pocket. I showed Ms. G video of what appeared to be a female in a jean skirt and she immediately started crying and stated “yes that’s me.” I asked how she knew it was her and she stated, “that’s my jean skirt with the safety pins, the bracelets I was wearing and the exact same finger nail polish.” I showed Ms. B a picture of a female in a jean skirt and she immediately stated that was her. She stated that the skirt was exactly the one she had and she knew it because of the design on the pocket. She also could see the back of her head and told me that, it was her hair and shirt she was wearing. Both Ms. G and Ms. B came forward after seeing Mr. Delagrange’s picture on the news and watching the story. They stated that as soon as they saw his picture they knew he was the guy that was following them.

On 3-2 I interviewed AK w/f/15 who stated that she was in Castleton square mall on 2-27-10. She stated that she was with her mom and dad and went to the Aeropostle store where a w/m later id’d as Mr. Delagrange started following her. She stated that at first he was getting very close
