Moreno was arrested Jan. 2 by Mountain View police, who received reports from a woman who said she was in the bathroom at the Panera Bread on El Monte Avenue when a man put his head under the stall to look at her. She reportedly screamed and then the man ran out of the restroom and into the street.
