Woman chases convicted video voyeur out of Yulee Target

YULEE, Fla. — A local woman is telling only Action News Jax about her run-in with a convicted video voyeur in the swimsuit aisle of a local Target store.

Candice Spivey, the woman who recorded the encounter, chased the convicted video voyeur, Jeffery Polizzi, out of the store.

Spivey posted the video on Facebook and a lot of women have responded to the video and said they've had similar encounters with Polizzi, but none of them ended like this one.

Spivey chased him out of the Target and he took off down the road, eventually getting charged with reckless driving.

Now the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone who's had suspicious encounters with Polizzi to come forward.

Spivey said Polizzi approaches women and asks inappropriate questions with the camera rolling.

“He proceeds to ask you very inappropriate questions about your underwear,” she said. “What kind of underwear she should wear, in regards to shaving your private areas.”

Spivey said he's done it to her before. Spivey turned the tables and recorded Polizzi.

"I wanted to get his face. I wanted to get a profile of him, of who he was, because he has been doing this for so long," Spivey said.

The video, posted on her Facebook, has been shared nearly 10,000 times and Spivey said the response has been overwhelming.

"I've gotten many many, many messages, comments from women who have been approached by the same guy," Spivey said.

Like one comment on the video: "This was the same guy who came up to me at CVS," or "He did this to me at Publix as well."

"I was worried about him approaching minors and young girls who he could easily manipulate," Spivey said.

We went to Polizzi's house in Baker County. No one answered the door, and we were asked to leave the property. Court records show he was convicted of video voyeurism in Jacksonville in 2009.

"If you have been approached by this guy, you should definitely share your story," Spivey said.

A lot of people have been asking if Polizzi could have been arrested for what he was doing. Action News Jax crime and safety expert Ken Jefferson said what Polizzi was doing is not illegal since it's a conversation between two adults.
