CYPRESS (CBSLA.com) — Cypress police responding to a call of a possible prowler arrived on scene to find a suspect -- holding a video camera --hiding between two parked vehicles.

Officers dispatched to the 9800 block of Newcastle Lane reportedly found their suspect at approximately 12:59 a.m. on September 15.

In addition, approximately 46.4 grams of cocaine, 2.5 pounds of marijuana and $8,000 were also seized.

Scott was later transported to the Orange County Jail where he is being held on $200,000 bail.

He is scheduled to appear in court at the West Justice Center on Monday.

Detectives said they will be working to identify potential victims located on the photos.
