Janitor found above girls bathroom at Brentwood school, officials say

Update: 7:20 a.m.

Williamson County Sheriffs Office detectives arrested a county school custodial worker late Friday night.

Victor Manuel Alvarado, 48, of Antioch, is charged with observation without consent at Scales Elementary on Murray Lane in Brentwood.

Alvarado is in jail on $75,000 bond. Hes scheduled to appear in General Sessions Court 1 p.m. Jan. 23.

Detectives are continuing their investigation.

Williamson County Schools officials said a custodian was found above an open tile space in a girls bathroom at Scales Elementary School in Brentwood on Friday.

A janitor who was contracted to work at the school through GCA Services in Nashville was found by a maintenance worker in the crawl space above the bathroom, Williamson County Schools spokeswoman Carol Birdsong said Friday night.

Williamson County Sheriffs Department officials were on the scene of the incident, though no criminal charges have yet been filed. Spokeswoman Sharon Puckett said authorities were questioning a person of interest in the case as of Friday night.

The maintenance worker told district officials he noticed something was wrong when he repeatedly fixed a misplaced tile in the bathroom, only to find it taken out again moments later. He then looked up and saw the janitor sitting in the crawlspace above the ceiling, Birdsong said.

There is no reason for the janitor to be in the ceiling, she said.
