DC Fire Captain Arrested for Trying to Record Video of Young Girl

A D.C. Fire and EMS captain has been arrested and charged for trying to record video of a girl inside a fitting room at a Virginia mall, police said.

Rudolph Doering, 50, turned himself in on Friday after seeing surveillance photos the Fairfax County Police Department released of him on social media, police said.

On Jan. 7, Doering tried to get video on his cellphone of a 13-year-old girl while she was changing in a fitting room at the Hollister Co. store at Fair Oaks Mall, police said.

The girl saw the cellphone from the stall beside hers, police said.

Doering, of Bristow, Virginia, has been charged with one felony count of attempted and unlawful filming of a minor.

D.C. Fire and EMS said Doering was immediately placed on leave when police told the department of his arrest.

Doering joined the fire department in 2000.
