Dustin Hyatt of Craig is in the Moffat County Jail, after being taken into custody following an investigation by the All Crimes Enforcement Team (ACET). The Moffat County Sheriff’s Office reports that charges against 47-year-old Hyatt include 26 counts of Invasion of Privacy for Sexual Gratification and 25 counts of Criminal Attempt (Invasion of Privacy for Sexual Gratification).
In a report posted on CRIMEWATCH® on Monday, the Moffat County Sheriff’s Office says the ACET Task Force found Hyatt allegedly in possession of “multiple voyeuristic photographs featuring various individuals in a restroom.” The report says the pictures were captured in the women’s restroom of the Jimmy John’s restaurant in Central Park Plaza in Steamboat Springs.
The report from the Sheriff’s Office also says Dustin “confessed to having discreetly placed his cell phone beneath the bathroom sink on ten separate occasions in mid-2024 to record the women’s toilet area. In total, investigators discovered 51 images involving approximately 33 distinct victims.”
The Sheriff’s Office also confirms, “Due to the positioning of the camera, the faces of the victims are largely unidentifiable, and all individuals appear to be adults.”

During an interview with Task Force Officers, Dustin confessed to having discreetly placed his cell phone beneath the bathroom sink on ten separate occasions in mid-2024 to record the women’s toilet area.
